Hello all,

Ok, i want to create engraved writings on a nurbs surface. I tryed with some letters...then projected them on surface, trimed out. Then i duplicated trimed edges and tryed to make a loft. That methos works...except at the end i have a hole at the end of that letter...and i dont know how to fill it up. This method is ok, but if you get your camera close...you will see its all square. I tryed with surface fillet, but it doesent work, because trimed edges are not all together, they are broken.

Any good tips on how to make engravings on a surface?

Thx alot.
