%Number of points to use allong circle 1

Create curves

Building outer radius here as thickening direciton is inwards.

y=(r1_inner+wallThickness).*cos(t(:));
z=zeros(size(t));
V1=[x y z];
V1=V1+V1_origin;

% Circle 2
x=(r2_inner+wallThickness).*sin(t);
y=(r2_inner+wallThickness).*cos(t);
z=zeros(size(x));
V2=[x y z]*R2;
V2=V2+V2_origin+V1_origin;

% Circle 3
