Default Simple question about defining a volume in Gambit

Hi all,

I would like to use Gambit to create a 3-D volume which is kind of like a cylinder, except that the two sides are different. I would like for one side to be a circle of radius r1, and the other side to be an ellipse of major axis r1, and a different minor axis, r2. The centers of the circle and ellipse would be on the axis of the final shape. In essence, I would like to make a 3-D shape where one circular axis maintains constant and the other one varies.

How would I do this? I know there are options in Gambit for stitching faces and protrusions, but I am having trouble locating how to make a shape from one circle and one ellipse.

Sincerely, Amit
