    Default Hangning a number over the edge of a letter...

    I'm using XDP7's 3D tool and would like to to the following: Create a 3D "W" with the number 3 "hanging" over the bottom right loop of the W. I'm not sure if I should post this here (since I'm using XDP7) or in the 3D maker forum, but I'd appreciate a little help. I can create the look in 3D for each character separately, but getting the 3 to "hang" over the edge of the W is posing a little difficult for me. Any suggestions? TIA,
    Coleen

    Coleen I would create Bitmap Copies of the extruded text objects and use a clone and either Clip View or a transparency to make it appear that one is hanging over the other.

    In the attached .xar file I converted the text to editable shapes because I do not know if you have the "Bailey" font.

    Thank you both so much for the replies. Bill that is EXACTLY what I wanted to do - thank you! I tried doing it by creating two separate 3D images and then hanging it like Frank did, but I couldn't get the effect that you did - I can't thank you enough, once again you are my hero!
