When you reload the file within Maya, the letters or curves should all appear correctly. Where curve changes direction, the bevel is not correct In an imported Adobe Illustrator file, if a curve is next to a line, the line point may be in a slightly different position than its neighbors. This can cause bevel errors where the bevel extends into space away from the main curve. Possible solutions include: • Increase the value of the Tolerance attribute after import Bevel error Tolerance=0.001 Tolerance=0.014 • Fixing the curves in Adobe Illustrator and re-exporting. This may be necessary if changing the value of the Tolerance attribute makes the points snap in a way you don't want. Note If you use Tolerance, CVs may be snapped together. This can cause edges with zero length, which can be removed with the Poly Cleanup Tool. Create > Construction Plane Creates a construction plane to which you can snap construction tools. Basics 259
