Torus

Works with Bricscad (Windows) Classic and Pro, Bricscad (Linux) Classic

Creates a torus as a polygon mesh (Classic); creates a torus as a 3D solid (Pro).

Accessing the Command

command bar: torus

menu bar: Draw | 3D Entities | Torus

toolbar: Solids |

: torus

Prompts you in the command bar:

Center of whole torus: <0,0,0> (Pick a point, or enter coordinates.)

Diameter/<Radius of whole torus>: (Specify the radius, or type D.)

Diameter/<Radius of body of torus>: (Specify the radius, or type D.)

Command Options

Option	Description
Center of whole torus	Specifies the center of the torus; press Enter to accept the default coordinates.
Radius of whole torus	Specifies the overall radius of the torus; note that the distance is measured to the center of the tube (body).
Radius of body of torus	Specifies the radius of the torus body, or tube. It is not necessary for the body radius to be smaller than the whole radius.
Diameter	Specifies the diameters of the whole torus and/or body.
