Can I create "relief" text in v2.9 PC — text that looks like it has been carved into an object? As a test, I added a primitive plane in Detail Editor, and extruded it with mold. Then I created my text in Spline Editor with a Postscript font, added points, extruded it, and saved points. Unfortunately, I came unstuck here. How do I remove the front faces from the text, and how do I join the hollowed-out text to the extruded plane? I'm afraid I'll need fairly detailed instructions because I didn't get a manual with 2.9 and Apex' book is out of print again 🙁 Thanks, Fraser
