Isn't there a donut button somewhere? I think there is - probably called a Toroid or something.

Create --> Primitives --> More --> Toroid

You can enter the various diameters and radii in the numeric panel, natch.

and if you don't want to take advantage of that built-in function, the long way is:

1) Create a circle

2) Lathe about anywhere on or outside the circle


mmmm....donut ^_^
