Torus
Torus creates a ring-shaped solid using major radius and minor radius. It is useful for seals, rings and curved Boolean construction.

Step by step
- Choose Torus and place its centre.
- Set Major Radius for the centerline ring size.
- Set Minor Radius for the tube thickness.
- Rotate the torus to the required plane.
Radii
Major Radius controls the ring path. Minor Radius controls the circular tube around that path. Keep Minor Radius physically smaller than the usable major-radius envelope.
Keep in mind
- Use Rotate to put the torus on a different plane; do not try to reinterpret the two radii as orientation controls.
