Hi Tim,
You're welcome.
As to part two, you may have to go with an imported object from another 3D program. While it's possible to create a bowl shape in ProAnimator, it may be tricky to get a square opening.
To create a bowl shape, you can use our lathe techniques with custom edges shown in the link below:

However, to combine the bowl shape with the square opening, you may have to play with combining multiple shapes in ProAnimator, and piecing the whole shape together. Or if it's possible, create the shape from another 3D program such as Maya or Lightwave, and re-import the object back into ProAnimator.
Best,
Edward
