I’ve watched a few videos to help create a stacked text piece but the bottom word …at the first bottom layer of the stock always looks strange after the top text is added …the centers of the letters don’t cut like you think they would …any simple solutions or suggestions guys ? Annnd…how can u speed up the process ??

Post your C2D file, we shouldn’t have to re-create your project to see what is going on.

Kind of looks like you aren’t handling the open centers of those three letters (ABA) correctly during the boolean operation.

Try using the “Union” boolean for the 2nd layer, rather than weld or smart weld.

See:
To do this using the Advanced V carve features it’s much the same, just a bit simpler:
Set the texts and duplicate them and set the duplicates aside in case a reference is needed:

draw up the V carving geometry in profile to see how things will cut:
[image]
and offset the top geometry by that distance:

[image]
Boolean union w/ the outside geometry for the lower layer:
[image]
[image]
Where geometry has been lost, bring back the geometry which was used by repeatin…
if you’re still stuck, please post your file as @mhotchin suggested.

The instructions I linked do not use any Pro features.
If you get stuck, post the file and we will walk through it with you.
