addative and subtractive help for carve zones within carve zones.

I pulled this off once before with some help from the guys on the forum, but I guess I really don't understand the concept, maybe because I use it so little. I have a friend that wants a plaque made. Basically what the plaque should be is a square carve zone 8"x8" with a doughnut shaped raised circle inside that has the center carved down. Inside that circle is a raised triangle that is about about 1/8" higher than the doughnut area. In the center of the triangle is a center-line number "23". I have played and played and played with this, trying to make it work, but it has me stumped. I am seriously considering doing it piece mill and gluing it up. I am eventually going to have to learn some of these essential skills from someone.

Is this what your needing?

let me try again...I needed to read your post again

I had to play with the pattern using the merge add, merge sub and the invert tool.... play with it. As bergerud say's

I played it with it a little more, I would use this one ....

I think you have his basic problem solved. Nice job aokweld.

Thank you bergerud I'm glad you approve I just got butterflies getting a praise from my mentor....

Wow, thank you for the help! You have officially made it into my hero book...lol.

Now, I have to learn to do it myself. I wish I wasn't stuck in the shop 16 hours a day, I could spend more time learning to use more of the CW capabilities. Thank you for the help, you made this a lot easier. It should make a great 23 year sober gift.

Your welcome, I'm glad I could help, it's as easy as the carvewight add said, pull, tug, push and carve......It kills me at those words....that was over a year ago....and pushing alot of buttons......lol
