Thanks Charlie, I saw the Depth Offset, I didn’t realise it’s power. So this means I can have a go at lowering the kings face and still medial axis carve it. I could not see an easy way before but now I see I can select the face paths, eyes and mouth as a layer to carve and use its outline to set the blank area to subtract the surface lower to carve on.
I like the outcome so far and with more experimental trials I might get proficient in layering and making more details of the card 3 dimensional just because I could.😄
It could be good practice to drive me to more challenging 3D carves.
