5. Step 5:

   Create / Select Toroidal Bend feature
   

   

6. Step 6:

   Select References tab >> Solid Geometry / Define... and select Sketch plane >> confirm Sketch
   

   

7. Step 7:

   Create Profile section with Coordinate system - Finish sketch = OK
   

   

8. Step 8:

   Select 360 degrees Bend from drop down menu. Choose Front and Back surfaces - system automatically will connect selected surfaces / references
