Re: Expression, the link for the free old Expression v3 vector drawing program is:

It was a pretty cool and interesting drawing program, it's too bad the developers weren't able to stick things out on their own.

Well, a torus is formed pretty easily by drawing a circle and using Revolve on it.

For something like a dodecahedron, the easiest thing is to have a library of shapes saved off as separate 3DM files and then you can use File > Import to place any of them into your current model. Also if you right-click on import you'll do an "ImportPart" which lets you also position and rotate the imported object right then as well.

There's a page here with all kinds of various polyhedra in 3DM format that can be loaded into MoI:
