Hi all, I am new here and also new to Solidworks. I come across a problem I can not resolve. I want to make a solid like a cone, but the base doesn't have to be a circle but an elipse. How can I make that happen? I tried many things but still not succeeded. Thanks for reading, hope someone can help me out. Below a screenshot of what I want to achieve...

Hi, I have been using AutoCAD to create product designs (baby bottles) for the last three years. I am normally drawing lines, arcs and splines to create the shape, then I use PEDIT to create a closed polyline and REVOLVE to create a SOLID 3D object from that shape. Couple days ago, AutoCAD is not longer creating 3D solids when I use REVOLVE as usual (even using older files and/or the same shapes or polylines that I have used before to create 3D solids). The result of REVOLVE is "SURFACE (REVOLVE)" (I got that from properties). But, the most uncommon thing is that AutoCAD is revolving fine one or two times per day after many many tries. (normally I am closing and opening files and trying to revolve some stuff many times, using the same process and suddenly it revolves the sahpe as a 3D solid) I attached a picture showing two objects created using the same group of lines, splines and acrs. One is a solid 3d object and the other one is a surface (revolve) as result of using REVOLVE command. WHY???? Could anybody help me with this problem? THANKS!

Hello. I am new to AutoCAD and I am trying to revolve a rectangle around its height in order to get a 3d object but I get a message : "The object should be on one side of the axis." . How can i resolve this problem?
