The Torus tool allows you to make complicated curved shapes, such as pipes. The graphic preview gives an approximation of how the final torus will look with the settings chosen.
Note:Tori aren't actually primitives, but rather collections of a finite amount of brushes of different shapes.
Preview
This button will redraw the graphic preview of the torus using the current settings.
Wall width
This is the width of the individual pieces of the torus. You can extend the torus walls outward by using a negative value here.
Number of Sides
You can enter a value here between 3 and 100.
Arc
This is the number of degrees the torus will span. You can enter a value here that is between 8 and 360.
Start Angle
This lets you adjust the angle of the torus pieces, by setting the degree that the first piece is created:
Cross-Section Radius
Rotation Sides
The amount of faces/sides in total volume of the torus.
Rotation Arc
The amount of rotations in degrees. (360 = one complete rotation)
Rotation Start Angle
The angle which the arc starts at.
Rotation Height
The amount of units the shape will curve upwards or downwards. This option is currently unusable and generates invalid brushes.
