How can i made my torus diameter smaller than .01? I’m running into a brick wall of trying to do some fine detail work and because its a torus, it becomes a mathematical nightmare to scale. (screw euclidean space!) So is there a setting somewhere? because selecting all the loops by hand and changing their diameters one by one is obscenely tedious.
just two suggestions:
• make a torus with the major radius proportionally bigger then you need, then scale it.
• in edit mode, select all and Shrink (Alt+S)

The 0.01 limit is arbitrary in the python code. If you’re brave, you can change the file <blender folder>\2.79\scripts\startup\bl_operators\add_mesh_torus.py
Around line 163 you should see the following code:
major_radius = FloatProperty( name="Major Radius", description=("Radius from the origin to the " "center of the cross sections"), min=0.01, max=100.0, default=1.0, subtype='DISTANCE', unit='LENGTH', ) minor_radius = FloatProperty( name="Minor Radius", description="Radius of the torus' cross section", min=0.01, max=100.0, default=0.25, subtype='DISTANCE', unit='LENGTH', ) abso_major_rad = FloatProperty( name="Exterior Radius", description="Total Exterior Radius of the torus", min=0.01, max=100.0, default=1.25, subtype='DISTANCE', unit='LENGTH', ) abso_minor_rad = FloatProperty( name="Interior Radius", description="Total Interior Radius of the torus", min=0.01, max=100.0, default=0.75, subtype='DISTANCE', unit='LENGTH', )
I think you can change the min values to what you need. You may have to experiment a little to see the results, but this should let you enter smaller values into the UI. Of course YMMV
