When elongating a quadball, is it possible to predetermine the new length?

[Anonymous]

I want to make two squished quadballs, one 2 mm smaller than the other along the long axis. 

Thanks for your help.

Here's a quick Autodesk Screencast that may help you get to where you need to be. I wasn't sure of the original diameter of the first quadball, but maybe this will help. Let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you for your help. I need to be more specific. I want to take a quadball and elongate it. I want to start with another quadball which is smaller and elongate it so that the elongated smaller one could fit into the elongated larger one. Did I miss something?

@innovatenate Your doing this the hard way.

This is easy, I will make a screencast and show you give me about 5 min.

Use a sketch and the fit tool in sculpt to control the quadball.

I appreciate your help and I have gone over your video several times in slow motion.  This is a fabulous learning experience, and you and innovatenate have given me a lot to think about.  I can now see how to put a structure inside of a structure.  I think I should now be able (fingers crossed) to make one elongated quadball inside of another (2 mm less) elongated quadball.  Then I can get the wedge that I want out of the inner elongated quadball and get rid of the rest of it.  Then I can flatten the remaining elongated quadball with the wedge inside of it.  Do you see any drawbacks?

Once again, thanks to both of you!
