## Object Properties

### Ring Radius

Parameter ID: `PRIM_TORUS_OUTERRAD` · Range: [0..+∞m]

### Ring Segments

Parameter ID: `PRIM_TORUS_SEG` · Range: [3..1000]

With these values you define the size and the subdivision of the ring. The ring is a notional circle running round the center of the pipe.

### Pipe Radius

Parameter ID: `PRIM_TORUS_INNERRAD` · Range: [0..+∞m]

### Pipe Segments

Parameter ID: `PRIM_TORUS_CSUB` · Range: [3..1000]

Specify the size and the subdivision level of the pipe. The pipe radius can be no larger than the ring radius.

### Orientation

Parameter ID: `PRIM_AXIS`

These options define the direction in which the object will "point". Using these options it is easier - and faster - to rotate the object (without rotating the object coordinate system as well).
