It looks good to me. I didn't get a satisfactory "kiss the edge of the
triangle" look but I didn't do a lot of heavy math. Even the sqrt(3)/6
was a guess that just seemed to work well enough.
I made a few more adjustments to the code
#declare TorusRadius = sqrt(3)/6;
#declare Torus = torus {TorusRadius-Line, Line rotate x*90 translate
<0.5, TorusRadius, 0>}
And then I experimented with stretching some triangles, which would
happen in a mesh and got the expected distortions of the radius. I'm not
sure that's even possible to fix without customizing ellipses for each
triangle, so probably at that point a cylinder and not a torus creates a
better marker.
