Okay here are the videos of the workflow to create engraved text using bevel plus and nurbs trims. It's three parts. In the first one I just go over some of the things to be aware of when using bevel plus and in parts 2a and 2b I go over the process of creating the nurbs parts.

I attached the Complete.ma file as well.

Cheers,
Rick

PS - reverse polygon surface direction was moved to the normals menu. Sorry I was looking for it where is originally was which was under the edit mesh menu. I rarely ever use the menu tabs as I find using them them too slow. I either use the marking menu's, hotkeys, or the shelf.

Also I do these pretty much on the fly without really planning anything out so I apologize if they are not polished and I yammer on too much.
