<<The best (and only really) way to do beveled text is to use outline in the shaper.>> There is another way of doing it. If you use a shapestep set to 0, the 3D Lofter isn't twisting the splines. The only thing is that you have to refine the shape yourself to the smothness you prefer by hand, using Segment/refine in the 2D Shaper. The 3D Lofter can still move the vertices on the wrong side of eachother making it an invalid shape. That mostly happens if you put vertices too close to a corner. -M.E
