Torus (by Reginald Dudley)
How do I generate a torus in solvespace?

You just place a circle in 2D, some distance away from your "torus center" then do a "new group" -> "lathe" after selecting your center axis...

Thanks:

But some how I am not doing something right. I get a circle based on the center of the circle. Maybe I don't understand the "torus center" reference.

Attached is a torus, and the center of rotation was set up using the center point and the x normal (green arrow).

Thank you for your help. I discovered that I needed to make the torus center a reference line, and it worked fine.
