I can make an ellipsoid with two different axes with the rotate tool but how can I make an ellipsoid with 3 different axes?
Thank you
We (a bunch of us renegades) are hoping for scaling independence. As in ANY direction… x, y or z and not limited to JUST x & y & Z.

How did you draw this shape, can you show a few more pictures from other angles as I have a project to do that I think could use the same principles, any help would be appreciated
Hi
I want to make a human heart with the left ventricle (bi-axial ellipsoïd: easy) and the right ventricle (tri-axial ellipsoid).
I had to bild my ellipsoid slice by slice:
with a tiny disk on the top of the ellipsoid:
then use the loft tool:
the top isn’t very clean and make the shell tool impossible, so I had to hide the top of the right ventricle by making a rotation:
and then substract, shell and union tools:
I made disappear the inner wall of the right ventricle by giving a negative value to the offset face tool:
and finally union and chamfer:

Thank you for taking time to show me this Michael, I shall try this approach soon. Strange yours is a part for a heart, mine is to create a part for a model aircraft…
The solution worked for me thanks to the community and the members for the solution.
