Sweet! Simply setting "Boundary Surface Solid" on the level containing
the tori did exactly what I needed! You're a machine with making those
examples! :-)

Hi Matthew,
have a look at the attached file.
Something like this?
Try the Tools-->Boolean-->Create Boolean Operation
and there the First selected "AND NOT" ...
Sometimes the results are better, if the level with the objects
is set to "Boundary surface solid",
and sometimes beware of the rendertimes, when working on complex
SDS and Nurbs objects with booleans :-)

Subject: Capping the ends of a mesh tube?
Greetings,
I made a torus with a nurb circle and rotated it around a two-point nurb
line (being used as the center point axis.) Hmm, let's see, I actually
have a picture here:
http://digitalstratum.com/images/tron/torus_construction.png
I then use a polygon to AND with the torus to get the section of the
torus I'm after. Everything is fine except the ends of the torus
sections are open, like tubes. Is there any way to close (cap) them?
Or even better, make them as if they were solid instead of hollow? I
don't totally understand U and V yet either, or which one runs in which
direction for various meshes.
More images of my exact process and the shapes I'm working with can be
seen here:

Sure wish there was a torus analytic.
Thanks,
Matthew
