Hi Jerome, >>A perfect example of what I'm talking about is chamfered text. You see it all the time, yet the creation of such chamfers manually for such curves could be intensive.<< Loft each letter of the text independently. In the 3D Lofter, use the DEFORM / BEVEL command to set up a bevel (or chamfer) at the front and back, or beginning and end, of your path for the text. Once each letter has been acceptably lofted into the 3D editor, you can attach them all back together as one object.
