Hey guys,

So I have this sphere  sitting at 0,0,0 in my View. I want to allow a
user to click anywhere on the sphere, and have a Torus appear where
they clicked, and as they drag, it would get bigger or smaller
depending on how far from the initial click they moved their mouse.

I have this part all figured out and its working perfectly...however,
I need the torus to "hug" the sphere as it get bigger or smaller,
literally moving closer to the center of the sphere as it gets bigger,
or further away as it gets smaller, so it seems that the torus is a
ring around the sphere at different places as you drag. For this to
happen, the torus will need to rotate on its axis' to keep "pointing"
directly at the center of the sphere.

This is way over my head, and my boss really needs this to get
finished this week, and there are tons of other parts to getting this
done. I could sure use some ideas.

Thanks SO much for all your help in advance! You guys always save my
butt!

p.s. im trying to place this torus like this so I can use the data
from it in some crazy trig functionality I need to do to get the
proper distances between thing & the right FOV & angle from the
distances & angles that are there...
