This subpanel creates three-dimensional torus solid primitives by specifying the center, normal direction, minor radius and major radius.

Four inputs are required to create a torus using this method:

The center node defines the center of the torus.
The vector between the center node and the normal vector node is the torus axis, thereby defining the torus orientation.
The major radius defines the outside radius of the torus, measured from the center node.
The minor radius defines the radius of the circular cross-section of the torus.
