How can a make a torus with specific line angles tia sal2

It's not crystal clear what you're after. I'm guessing you want to cut, or somehow represent, a double helix on a toroid shape? Can't help but if more people understand what you want ...

I guess it could be described like that but not that complex I'm just trying to change the angles of the lines that make up the torus shape.

Here's an example of what I'm trying to do.

Hello,

Have a look at this. This should do what you want if I understand you corectly.

Seems to me a simple bit of sketch geometry.

yea it does I wish I had an example on how to do it.

Did you look at what I posted??? If you did, did it help? Was I right on? Was I way off?

Come on man give us a little help. Help us help you.

See if this is what you're trying to do,..

Yes I did and thank you for such a quick response. I opened it but it looked like a regular Torus. Did I miss something

I was trying to change the "skin angle of the torus" I made a 3D example (acrobat 7 needed for 3D)

If solidworks can't do it thats ok I was just trying to get exact angles. I'm still learning Solidworks so please forgive me.

I opened it. It looks like I need to do several sweeps and revoles. Is there a sequence I should do them in?

I may be off the wall here but i think what you need to do is

use different software like pro-E or mastercam everyone has their

favorite. It's easy enough to create a torus with the basic information

minor diameter major diameter etc. which would give you a 3D wire frame

using that software.
