Hello!

I’ve been struggling to get a text effect/cut and I can’t seem to manage the thing that’s in my head. Basically what I want to do is have half the text be engraved as a fill, and then half the text (bottom or top) be cut out. That way the top half of the text line is fixed in the material, and half of it is sticking out looking good

The image illustrates where I’m at - Is there a way to split the top bit into even more separate parts so I can tell it to cut the bottom one? Or is the solution there adding a cut line along the bottom of the blue layer?

      Here’s a suggestion:

In one layer, have the full text set for fill
In another layer, do a boolean union of the text plus the rectangle so that only the outermost outline is preserved. Set that layer to cut
In this screenshot I’ve separated out the 2 components but they would otherwise be stacked on top of each other.
