1 From the main menu, select Create > NURBS Primitives > Torus >
.
2 In the NURBS Torus Options window, select Edit > Reset Settings and
then set the following options:
Radius: 8.5
Minor Radius: 0.5
Number of Sections: 24
3 In the NURBS Torus option window, click Create.
NOTE If the NURBS Primitives Options window does not appear, ensure that
a check mark does not appear beside the Interactive Creation menu item
before selecting Create > NURBS Primitives > Torus >
by first selecting
Create > NURBS Primitives > Interactive Creation.
4 In the Channel Box, rename the torus primitive Entablature.
5 Move the entablature vertically in the scene so it rests on top of the
columns (Translate Y = 9.7).
