torus center and radius subpanel (Surfaces panel)

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

The highlighted node is the center; the dark one is the normal; this torus has a major radius of 3 and minor
radius of 1.

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.
