The donut-like object?  nah... It would be a bit complicated to calculate the
scales in every dimension to get the exact curve I want, cut the segment I want
and translate it where I want...

I guess this means there are no such command as "curve" or "bend" or "twist"... 
I'll have to experiment with a few methods and see which is the best...

Thanks,
	Simon
