Change the color slightly, perhaps
to a light blue, to distinguish it from other parts of the object that are assigned
surface names. You will change any colors assigned here in Layout; colors assigned
in Modeler help you tell named surfaces apart. Click OK to close the Change
Surface dialog box.
You??™re probably wondering why you named the letter faces ???ABN_Bevel,??? right?
Good question. The Bevel tool adds new polygons to the current selection, and if
a surface name has been assigned to that selection, it applies that name to the new
geometry. So we??™re temporarily naming the surface polygons ???_Bevel??? to apply
that name to the new bevel geometry.When we??™re done beveling, we??™ll click those
easy-to-select letter-face polygons one more time and finally give them their
proper name.
6. With the faces still selected, press b to call up the Bevel tool.
7. Click and drag in any viewport to bevel the selection. Click and drag up to set the
Shift, and click and drag left or right to change the Inset. You can also press the
n key to open the Numeric panel. You??™ll want to bevel your text to about 200mm
for the Shift, and 100mm for the Inset (Figure 7.
