First, I really shouldnt post the file, as I have sevaral purchased elements in it...so I will describe the best I can....
I am making a sign with a "plaque" at the bottom, a "deer head" mounted to the plaque (protruding contour to the front of the plaque and extending above the plaque....like a deer head would be mounted to a wall mount). Then, I have "raised lettering" that goes OVER (in front of/protruding toward the eye) the plaque and deer head/neck. (so 3 elements of concern (plaque/head/lettering)
Right now, the lettering is contoured (raised a set amount above every part of the base contour)...say 1/8" above the plaque area and then only 1/8" above the high point of the deer neck. At one point, I had it so ALL the front of the lettering was the SAME HEIGHT (on the same plane). Thus the lettering at the edge of the p[laque was much thicker than the lettering at the center (over the deer neck) but the surface of the letters were all flush to the surface of the board.
I want it back that way !!! I have tried every imaginable combination of heights, depths, merging and clipping and cant seem to get it back the way I want it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, as this is my first "paying" order.
