>>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.
Hmm. I would have thought that would have simply created a chamfer around the
bounding box, not around the complex curves of the shape you imported.
UNLESS, of course, you're talking about doing something with using the outline
of the letter AS a path to create the bevel itself… I'll have to play around
with closed paths a little more to make that work. Is this what you mean?
I appreciate the help! -JK
