You can access this tool from the following:

  • Ribbon: Modeling > Surfaces > Create Surfaces > Primitive Surfaces > Torus
  • Toolbox: Primitive Surfaces


SettingDescription
Axis Sets the direction of the axis of revolution.
  • Points — Direction of axis is defined graphically. AccuDraw can be used to define the drawing plane on which the points are placed.
  • Screen X, Y, or Z — Direction of the axis is set to the screen's X, Y, or Z axis.
  • Drawing X, Y, or Z — Direction of the axis is set to the drawing's, or design file's, X, Y, or Z axis.
Primary Radius If on, sets the primary radius (the one the torus' profile is swept around).
Secondary Radius If on, sets the secondary radius (the radius of the torus' profile).
Angle If on, sets the sweep angle.
