Your cockpit projects are amazing.

I am trying to build a cockpit object for the Quest aircraft Kodiak that I am building for X-Plane. I am not sure how to create the round spaces for my gauges on the panel?

I use the elipse tool to create the area where I would like to display my gauge, but when I try to assign the texture and export I get a message that says something to the effect that X-Plane quadcockpit must contain quads only. It seems that when I use the elipse tool I get an object that is made of Tri's instead of quads.

I know that I am probably missing something very simple... I was just wondering how you create the round areas where you map your gauges????
