Displays a dialog box:

Command Options

Option	Description
Origin	Specifies the x,y,z coordinates of the origin point: Type the coordinates in the Origin field, separated by commas. Click the Pick button (), the dialog box temporarily closes. Prompts you in the command bar: Select Origin: Pick a point
Radius X Diameter X	Specifies the radius or the diameter of the torus. Click the button to switch. Type the value in the X field. Click the Pick button (), the dialog box temporarily closes. Prompts you in the command bar: Radius: Click two points.
Tube Radius Y	Specifies the diameter of the tube of the torus. Type the value in the Y field. Click the Pick button (), the dialog box temporarily closes. Prompts you in the command bar: Radius: Click two points.
Pick All	The Create X-Solid Torus dialog box temporarily closes. Prompts you in the command bar: Center point <0,0,0>: click the center point. Diameter/<Radius> of torus: click a second point to define the radius or type D + Enter to define the diameter. Diameter of circle <current diameter>: click to define the diameter. Diameter/<Radius> of Tube: click a second point to define the radius of the tube or type D + Enter to define the diameter. Diameter of circle <current diameter>: click to define the diameter of the tube.
Preview	Displays a preview of the torus in the drawing in dashed lines.
View	The Create X-Solid Torus dialog box temporarily closes. Displays the View Options dialog box:
Manipulate	The Create X-Solid Torus dialog box closes. Displays the Manipulate dialog box to Move, Rotate or Align the X-Solid torus. Move: Prompts you in the command bar to specify the displacement vector by clicking two points. Move To: Prompts you in the command bar to move the origin point of the X-Solid torus. Rotate: Type an angle in the Angle field or choose an angle in the list box, then click an axis button to rotate the X-Solid torus. Align: Aligns the X, Y or Z-axis of the X-Solid torus. Prompts you in the command bar to specify two points. The X-Solid torus is rotated about its origin. Done: Creates the X-Solid torus. OK: Reopens the Create X-Solid Torus dialog box. Cancel: Aborts the XTorus command.
OK	Creates the X-Solid torus.
Cancel	Aborts the XTorus command.
After primitive creation, perform operation:	Launches the XUnion, XIntersect or XSubtract command to be executed using the newly created X-Solid torus. You are prompted in the command bar to select one or more other solids.
