Frequently asked questions

Where is 3D Letters in the menu?

Add Object → Experimental → 3D Letters

What can I adjust?

Start with the key controls above, then fine-tune everything else in the right sidebar inside Studio.

Is this non-destructive?

Objects live on layers as elements. You can edit parameters anytime; delete the element to remove it.

Does 3D Letters work with multi-pen plotting?

Yes. Use Pen Palette on a layer to split linework by color, or set per-path ink on modifiers like Offset.
