PMJI – This is one function in 3DS that I think works poorly. It's not clear to
me why, either. Several programs, including Macromodel can bevel text without
erroring out. That ought to be fixed, right in 3DS, so the illegal loops are
nipped off and adjusted for, allowing you to get a good bevel. Since I hold
this opinion, I'd be loath to spend more on an IPAS that could do it correctly.

(Having just been thinking about this issue in the last couple of weeks…Like,
why, when you make an outline in the Shaper, are the original objects distorted
a little? I always have to save a copy of the original and replace the ones I
generated outlines from, in addition to the manual tweaking to get the
curvatures organic again…)
