What I have made is a boat with persons name as part of the boat. I have got the area around the boat recessed. Got the boat to stay at a zero depth. Problem is the centers of the letters and the boat windows I can't get recessed .125. I this makes any sense. i have played with the clip carve and merge but no positive results. I will try and attach the file

Group arc 2 and arc 4 and make the group clip exclusive.
