Ha!... yea, that's why I like Toroidal Bend
It is a simple flat model that I want to use as a starting pattern.
I made the mating part, slightly squished version using the Warp command (Warp is a -very- weak command as you have very little control). This one uses the curve-circles you see inscribed. I then offset the outside surface and flattened the quilt (another really messy command!). That flattened quilt is the pattern for the mating part.
I also had to report a bug with toroidal Bend today. It will be submitted as an SPR. I tried to remove the curves from the toroidal bend but one circle remained. It wasn't listed but when I tried to delete the associated sketch, it wanted to delete the toroidal bend. Something got corrupted and PTC will have to take a look.

This SPR was resolved and will be included in M080.
