>> Well, actually, I was trying to get a suggestion on how to give the object a "stretched" look, like an hourglass shape. Gotcha ya. The best way to make an elegent hourglass is actually to loft it. If you have an exsiting mesh and want to"pinch" it in to an hour glass then you need to perform a series of 2D Scales to rows of its center vertices (select the whole middle vertex group and scale 90%, deselect the top and bottom rows and scale another 90%, deselect……and so on..) – Phil
