Function Description:

This command is used to create a 3D mesh primitive object, such as a box, cone, cylinder, pyramid, sphere, wedge and torus.
The basic mesh styles are the equivalent of the primitive forms for the 3D solids. Users can remodel mesh objects by smoothing, sharpening, optimizing and splitting, as well dragging edges, faces and vertices.
Note: By default, the smoothness of new created mesh is 0. Users can change the default smoothness by Specifying the Settings option under the MESH command before you Specifies the type of mesh primitive you want to create.

Specify radius:

Specify the radius of the torus mesh. It measures from the center to the tube center.

Diameter: Specify the diameter of the torus mesh.

Specify tube radius: Specify the radius of tube.

Settings

Specifies level of smoothness or tessellation of the new torus mesh.

Level of smoothness: Specifies the initial smoothness or roundness of mesh.
Users can remove the smoothness by inputting 0; they can also input 4 to increase the level of smoothness. The inputted level of smooth will be kept for current drawing.
The level of smoothness is restricted by the SMOOTHMESHMAXLEV system variable.
Tessellation: Users can update the value of tessellation divisions in the "Mesh Primitive Options" dialog box.
