I need to join an elliptical tube to a round tube to form a deformed end for a diagonal brace. A better alternate would be to simply deform the end of the round tube. Can either be done in Via Cad 7 or 8? See attached file.

You might need to export your attachement in an older format of ViaCAD/Shark (v7), because I suspect most do not have V8 as yet.

Hi Jason.
That is what I was looking for. I don't understand the reason for the subtract inner from outer step in you answer. My steps were explode curves, Skin outer, Skin inner. When I go to the front view and back view I can see through both tubes and the inner skinned surface.

Edit: I am going to see if I can blend the tube skin intersections more smoothly.

You can do lofted solid with guides to get a smoother surface. Of course, this will entail making your guide curves and getting rid of the hollows to later hollow the final part to your desired thickness.
