I need to make a very very large Oval, but the cylinder is too deep, i want a slight curve. like u took a metal bar and just bent it a little bit over ur knee

EDIT: i was able to acomplish it with an extremly large cylinder but is there a cleaner way?

EDIT: changed to oval, after i remembered thta its an oval im after not an elipse

EDIT3:

Look below your addition/subtraction tools for the two buttons. They form your BSP model to if it's inside a subtracted area, or outside of it, depending on which button you press.

Yup. Press Intersect on the left. That should do it.

Just put the red builder brush where you want the addition to be, hit the Deintersect button, then Add, and you're done. Intersect and Deintersect only apply to the red builder brush, and as such, the builder brush doesn't even need to be selected.
