Hi Kerry,

Welcome to the forum! You can find info about making lithos and info about height/depth settings in some of the Tips & Tricks articles. (link is under my name below). Hope that helps.

EDIT: More info about height/depth settings is found in your software owner's manual too. Over 200 pages of GREAT info there! If you have not downoaded the manual, here is the link:
