Purpose
Create a toroidal 3D primitive.
Syntax
TORUS $W $N $N < /SHELL $N $N $N > < /LAYER $N >
Description
Constructs a torus as an enclosed volume, given the radius of the centerline of the torus and the tube cross section radius. Optionally the user can create a partial torus as a single sided shell surface, by specifying the tube cross section radial extent and the start and end sweep angles.
The torus is stored under a user specified name on the current or a user specified layer.
Command Qualifiers
|
$W |
The name under which the torus is stored. |
|
$N $N |
The centerline radius and cross section radius respectively. |
|
/SHELL $N $N $N |
Specifies a partial torus as a shell surface. The three values are respectively, the cross section radial extent in degrees, the starting sweep angle and the end sweep angle. |
|
/LAYER $N |
Specifies a layer number on which the torus is stored. |
