Element 3D: Bevel is overlapping

Hi guys,

When I create a 3D object in Element 3D and add a bevel to it, the white bevel is overlapping with itself and forms an unsightly intersection. Is there any way to prevent this kind of overlapping?

Thanks!

As Mylenium said - only ful feature 3D modeling piece of software will give you that ability. Only thing that you can do inside of E3D is to try to make extra models that have the same color as your bevel and place them inside your main model aligning them in the way that will cover those holes. It is not pefect sollution to say the least.

One alternative solution is to modify the shapes of your letters to offset them so that the letters are thinner and thus the bevel will make them their original thickness.

Nope. You need a 3D modelling program if you want clean bevels.Automated algorithms can only do so much.
