Hi all,

I'm trying to model a aluminum tube which has it's end squeezed, pressed into flat surface. Take a look at this photo http://www.yostwerks.com/images/Frame15b.jpg . The lower left photo shows two such tubes which have their ends pressed.

How do I model this accurately in SW (meaning,  that it would look like an actually pressed a aluminum tube)? I'll have a lot of such tubes, so something that rebuilds fast would preferable. I'm now trying out various features, but can't find anything that would do the job.

P.S. I model the aluminum tube with Sweep.
