## Settings

![the SDF panel of a Torus](../../assets/sdf-panel-torus.webp)

| Setting | Default | Range | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
| **Major Radius** | `0.7` | > 0 (soft 10) | From the centre to the middle of the tube |
| **Minor Radius** | `0.3` | > 0 (soft 5) | The tube's radius. Past the Major Radius the hole closes |

The rows every shape has are in [Properties Panels](../../interface/panels.md#rows-every-shape-has).

## Minor Radius

Right-click ▸ **Minor R** (also in the `Q` pie's West wedge) starts a drag of **Minor Radius**: move the mouse away from the centre for a thicker tube, towards it for a thinner one.
