Extrude around an axis

Hello,
Can I do a rotational extrusion with COMSOL?
i.e. extrude an object along a path defined as a circle around an axis (but such that each point describes a circle of radius equal to the distance between that point and the axis).
An example would be drawing a circle of on a work plane, then extruding it 360 degrees around an axis to make a torus (I don't want to model a torus, it just serves as an example).
I'm told this is a fairly standard option in other 3D modelling programs such as photoshop extended and rhino - so does COMSOL do this?
Kind regards,
Dominic.
