Match the following misconceptions and answers.

• What do you call one or more tori?

• Yes, blue grips modify torus size and shape.

• Can I edit a torus shape with the grips?

• Yes, a negative radius creates an elliptical torus.

• Why does it need two radii?

• One radius defines the torus size; the other, the tube thickness.
