This subpanel creates three-dimensional torus solid primitives by specifying three nodes.
Three inputs are required to create a torus using this method:
• | The major center node defines the absolute center of the torus. |
• | The minor center node defines the center of the circular cross-section of the torus. |
• | The distance between the minor center node and the minor radius node defines the radius of the circular cross-section of the torus. |
The three nodes must define a plane and cannot be collinear. The circle defined on that plane by the minor center and radius is then spun around the major center to create the torus.
