Hi there, can anyone tell me if it’s possible to revolve elliptical instead of cicular?  
I am trying to make a banner to wrap around the winged cross. But it’s to round on the inside.  
I want to squeeze it or revolve elliptical to fit the cross but I don’t know if it’s possible?  
Or does anyone have an idea how to do it in a different way?  
I’ll ad a screenshot of the banner so far.  
Thanks, Bianca

Hey Bianca! The [Sweep tool](https://support.shapr3d.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001415034-What-does-the-Sweep-tool-do-) will be the one you are looking for 😉

Sweep tool should do what you need Bianca. Additionally as a suggestion, if you get the part really tight into the cross, you could then subtract the cross and have a perfectly tight fit.
