Components

A relief is a stack of parts. Each part is a shape with a height and a rule for how it meets what is below it. Drag to reorder — order is what "below" means.

Closed vector from the 2D view. Pick a cross-section, give it a height. Changing the vector later re-inflates it.

Same text engine as the Job Editor (text on path, kerning); the 3D part is a profile on the glyph outlines.

Appearance only. What the machine gets is the pass count from Slice to job — ALPS never promises a depth.

Fake project: a 40 mm brass coin. Click a part in Components to select it; drag the raking-light slider in the 3D view. Text fields do nothing.

Slice to job is the existing 3D Engraving path (150 levels, brass starting point) — unchanged, it just gets its input from this screen.
