t04i8000-075.dat
we may need an addon for new torus prim variants...
as of now, there are only full or quarter (inside/outside) torus prims.
But sometimes we may need cut tori.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toroidal_a...oordinates
toroidal is bigringwise (the rotation path), poloidal is smallringwise (the rotated profile)
my suggestion would be a suffix (like the -075)
and the number is the percentage of the full quarter inside/outside torus and the + or - is the direction
(from the inner/outer border or from the center line)
but you are free to discuss
(do we even need this? which way should it be done? 075 or 750? where does +/- start? and more...)

I'm not against it. We have tndis so why not this. Could you please make some renders as it has been done for:
