Torus Creation Mode
Shapes Torus
In this mode, you may interactively define a torus by double-clicking
its center point and its radii in the currently active .
The torus will always aligned in the currently active .
To define a torus with a different orientation, you must first change
the working plane’s normal direction by using local coordinate systems.
Creation steps
When you first enter the mode, you will be
asked to double-click to mark the center point of the torus. The cursor’s
location will be projected onto the currently active
to define the center (always remember to release the mouse button after
double-clicking, before dragging to the next point). After the first point has been set, you may
specify the larger radius of the torus by again double-clicking at a location
on the working plane. During this operation, a rubber-band circle will
be displayed indicating the current size and location of the torus outer
limits. The next step allows you to specify the smaller
radius of the torus in the same manner as before. During this operation,
a rubber-band torus will be displayed indicating the size and location
of the currently defined torus. Finally, a Torus
dialog box appears where you may check your settings and assign a
,
a
and a material
for the new torus.
Display of locations
Throughout this mode, the current mouse location
will be displayed in the lower right corner of the .
Snap mode
All positions will be adjusted to the snap
grid when active.
Cancel interactive mode
You may cancel this interactive mode at any
time by pressing the ESC key. Pressing ESC again in the following dialog
box will terminate the torus creation.
Undo last double-click
You may go back to the last step by pressing
the BACKSPACE key. Pressing this key in the interactive mode will undo
the last double-click.
Numerical specification of coordinates (TAB key
and SHIFT+TAB key)
To precisely specify the shape coordinates,
you may press the TAB key whenever a point must be double-clicked. A small
coordinate dialog
box will open in which you may specify the shape coordinates numerically.
The dialog entries take over the coordinates
at the cursor position on the .
However, if the SHIFT+TAB key is pressed, the coordinates are always set
to zero.
Pick tools to specify coordinates
You may snap the location to a previously defined
shape’s corner, cylinder radius, etc., by activating a point
pick tool, at the moment when the next point must be specified. The
double-click will be processed by the pick functionality to specify the
location of a point. The picked point will then be taken as the selected
location.
