I've been trying to make a particular shape with the building tools, and I've seen it done in SL, but I'm struggling to get it done.

Can anyone help?

Here's a picture of the shape http://www.pedrowill.com/e-commerce/Vase+design

Its probably something really simple that I'm missing out!!

I believe it can be done with a cut torus.

Hmmm.... still can't get it to work.

If I rez a basic torus.... what profile cut and hollow settings should I be using?

Hollow to 95, profile cut start to 0.10, end to 0.40, and change the hole size Y to 0.40
