Compute a torus given the center point (pivot) and the radius (radius). A partial torus can be computed by using startSweep and endSweep and minorSweep angles.

The resolution of the torus can be controlled by specifying the useTolerance (useTolerance) attribute and the tolerance (tolerance). Otherwise the number of sections and spans will be used.



Control the orientation of the torus by specifying the axis of the torus.

The degree of the resulting surface can be linear or cubic.
