Subject: How to make a cylinder diameter exactly the same as the thickness of a Torus?

I'm sure there is a geometry formula for this (I want to be able to do it for various diameters without eyeballing it). Anyone know? Thanks.

Yeah, click the small 'A' next to the mesh when the mesh is highlighted. Look at the size. X and Y are the diameter and Z is the height. Same for the torus. Make the X and Y the same for the torus and the cylinder.

I'm sure that will work, but there is an adjustment for a Torus (Under E) that you can set the thickness while keeping the height of the Torus the same. It defaults to 256, and I was wondering what the relationship was to the diameter of a cylinder.

Actually, after posting my comment I went to test it and found out that the torus at default of 256 was 1% smaller than the cylinder. As for changing the number, the outside diameter stays the same and the inside grows larger with a lower number. ie, if you make a torus of 100, its the same outside, and larger hole. Apply the correction factor if you need. Experiment. Remember, Bryce isn't a modeler, that's what other programs are for. (a good freeware is metasequoia http://www1.sphere.ne.jp/mizno/main_e.html which has export capability in the LE freeware versions) Good luck, hope this helps.
