I was wondering if there was such a thing as a cylinder mesh, but it does not keep its circular pattern when resided. I know there is one for spheres, but I cant seem to find one for cylinders.

There's an option for Sphere, Cylinder, Torso, and other kinds of shapes if you choose SpecialMesh.

Yea, but there is still nothing that is cylinder compatible there.

Not a mesh, but you can create a Union with CSG by first starting with a SphereMesh, then stretch it way out and flatten it a bit. Negate 2 large blocks and cut the ends off the stretched SphereMesh. Now you have an oval.

What I am looking for is a way to seamlessly connect two stretched spears seamlessly, but as that does not appear to be possible, I will see what I can do, thanks for all the suggestions.

Two stretched spears or spheres? It it's spheres you can and you are doing them in line with each other try my suggestion. Copy one and stretch it really long, then take 2 long rectangular Parts and cut the ends off the stretched one by Negating them and Unioning them with the copied Sphere. Put the Unioned part in between the stretched Spheres then move them to where the diameters match. Should work.

Honestly the best way to do this is to approximate it with an arc tool.

He will need to explain how he wants to 'Join 2 stretched (spears or spheres)' because there are so many ways for the 2 parts to be oriented to each other in the Workspace. Remember Shadowcalen1, we can't see what you are describing or read your mind, you have to explain it in precise detail so we can understand.
