I have to agree with Todd here. Jonathan, if the part you intend to submit for
voting is the same part as posted to lugnet.cad.dat, don't bother. Just a
cursory look at it makes it obvious that the part needs major repair. As Todd
pointed out, the torus generator was indeed designed for much smaller uses.
Using it for such a large circle looks terrible. And the color within is not
evenly distributed.
