Using revolve function to create a torus

[CONNOR MORENO]

Hi all,

I'm creating a very simple model, just a torus using the revolve function. The relevant code snippet is as follows:

# Define torus minor radius

R = 50.0

# Construct torus

const = cq.Workplane('XZ', origin = (1200, 0, 0)).circle(R).revolve(toroidal_extent, (-1200, 0, 0), (-1200, 1, 0))

# Export torus

cq.exporters.export(torus, name + '.step')

It is all constructed quite well, except that a small feature gets made where the torus meets back with itself on the XZ plane (images included below).

Does anyone know why this might be and how to fix it? Any degree of revolution less than 360 does not have this issue, it is only when the solid meets back with itself to become continuous.

Thanks, and let me know if I can provide any more information!

I should note that toroidal_extent in this case is 360

Should also note that const gets turned into torus at some point. Sorry, mangled together what I have to make it more readable.

What viewer are you using? We have seen models that are valid but just look wrong in certain viewers.
