      You can run Follow Me on the elliptical profile you made from stretching the vertical circle.

        Lop the top of ahead of time if you wish or do whatever you want to the top edge make the break line. The method shown with the cutting plane is good and quick.

          Oooohhhh. I see what you mean. Then delete the top to create a hollow eggshell. Right?

          Edit: Alright, the picture is up now. Thanks. πŸ˜„

              Seems to me the easiest way is, create the Egg, turn on hidden geometry, draw the zigzag line you want and away you go.

                              Hi folks.

                              See this SU file for ideas. I made it with SU 4, when Scenes where named Page as an other tutorial on how to draw an oval or "Ove" in French. This is more egg shape than a circle scaled as an ellipse, although it is possible to make an egg shape by scaling only part of a circle. I just added a few scenes to show a possibility with basic tools.
