I can't figure out how to add the torus to my workspace. It is in the Plug-Ins directory, but now I'm stuck. - Michael.

I can't figure out how to draw a torroid (a 3D doughnut). I am drafting a dust collection system, and I need to use 1/4 of a torus as a ducting elbow. I hope that this intrigues someone. Thanks. ------------------ Michael Banvard Technical Director/Stagehand
