How to......

At first glance this seems to be a verry nice tool, but I don't understand how it works, verry little documentation.
I try to make a donut shaped model, how can I do this?
I see no possibility to extract a face and then rotate it, how can I do that?

Constructor is a CSG editor so it is not possible to have a single face/polygon and then lathe it. And until someone writes a Torus tool there isn't an automatic way to creating one.
One way to do it is to build a cylinder, slice its ends at an angle appropriate for the number of segments you'd like and the center of rotation, and then perform a radial clone. Sounds like a good tutorial for someone to write on TDN. :o)
