Ring Properties

Diameter1:        This parameter specifies the width and height of the ring.

Diameter2:        This parameter specifies the total size of the ring.

X Position:        This parameter specifies the x position of the center of the ring.

Y Position:                This parameter specifies the y position of the center of the ring.

Angle in XY plane: This parameter specifies the rotation of the ring in the XY plane.

Z Offset:                This parameter specifies the z position of the top of the ring.

Advanced

Line Splitting Length:        This parameter specifies the distance along a line after which a new point is generated and transformed on the 3D surface. Every individual line is split independently.

Ring Angle:                This parameter specifies the opening angle in the direction of diameter 1 and diameter 2.
