I’m new at this, so I hope these are not a stupid questions. I am trying to make Saturn. I got 2 problems:
1. To make the rings, I took a circle (with a black outline) and applied the stretch layer to squeeze it into an oval. However, the black outline also was squeezed along with the region. I was hoping to find a way to make the outline a constant thickness (sorta like MS Powerpoint works). Is there a way to make this happen?
2. I need to make the far half of the rings behind Saturn and the near half in front. I figured I could break into two halves, but I’m not sure how to do that without a line being drawn where they meet. What is the best way to do this?

Instead of using group transformation widget to scale the object, select the object and ctrl +a all the vertices and use scale option from the tool box.
