I have fooled around for hours trying to figure out how to make a shape like a donut only with a larger hole in the middle. I want to top a small wall (actually its a half circle shape) with it so the top isnt just flat. I cant find the proper sculpty map shape for it and now I have a headache from messing with it but I cant give up. I hope someone has an answer to this. Im probably making it harder than it is.

Why not just use a torus?

I'm not sure why you are using a sculpty. Wouldn't a standard SL torus (donut) shape work? You can change the size of the hole in the building menu.

EDIT: He was faster... :o

the torus ends up looking sharp on top. Not the round shape I want. I know Im missing something simple, my brain just isnt thinking clearly.

A picture might help to understand, what you try to achieve...
And which software do you use to make your sculpty ?

I can make a sculpted ring for you, relatively easily, for just the charge of uploading the texture but you would need to give me exact specifications: make a torus that more or less conforms to the dimensions you want and send me the details.

And flattening the torus doesn't help? Play around with the X and Y hole size parameters?

Ok, Ill take you up on that offer as Im tired of working on it and need to get to other stuff. Its 2 small walls. First size is x=4.00000m BY y=3.00000m PATHCUT B=0.100 E=0.875 HOLLOW= 0.90
The second one is size x=2.100000m X y=2.100000m PATHCUT B=0.275 X E=0.825 HOLLOW=0.90

I hope that is understandable. I prefer it not be real high. Its a trim for the top of a stone wall. Can they be resized if its too high? I really appreciate this. Ty!
