[Gmsh] surface from extrude in volume

[John Daily]

I am trying to embed an extruded object within another volume for the
generation of a 3D mesh. Below is my .geo file. However, when I do 3D mesh,
I get an error "no tetrahedra in region 1 0", which occurs regardless of
how many toroid segments I add to the volume. I would appreciate any help?
I am at a loss here?

Thanks
