Torus

Type:

Appearance:

The following figure depicts the parameterization of a Torus object.

A Torus is defined by its radii - TorusRadius and TubeRadius . A Torus is created by sweeping a circle with radius equal to TubeRadius along a circular path with radius equal to TorusRadius. A toroidal section can be created by setting an azimuthal (Phi) angular value. A value of and Phi equal to 360 degrees yields a full torus, for values less than 360 degrees torus sections will be created with circular cap faces.
