First off, I did this and cannot figure out how I did it a few weeks later. I am trying to 3d print some numbers and I have 2 files - one I created a few weeks ago and one I did over the last weekend. I have determined that I like the one that has an angle of what I would call extrusion vs the rounded Revolve. I tried to look for this in the help section and here on the forums for a few hours and then just thought I would ask - does anyone know how to create the number without the rounded part like is in the Revolve? I have attached the 2 examples - **one with a straight or angled back number 5** that I can’t figure out what I did and one that I did a Revolve on and it has a curved back. I would like to **create a few more numbers with the straight or angled back** of the number but I honestly cannot figure out what I did and how I did it - after hours of trying to recreate it - I am a foolish human πŸ™‚ You should be able to see the example in the first file I attached. I am only allowed to put one media file in per post being new so I only could do the angled 5 and not show the Revolve version Any help would be great! ![angled 5](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/shapr3d/original/3X/3/b/3bf80b1166d228c9e360efdcf8fc1aad816fae2e.png) ---

@netcaretaker Welcome to the forum πŸ™‚ This is how I approached it. ---

Well, that works, different to how I remember I did it but who cares, I am moving forward πŸ™‚ Thanks!!! ---

Here’s another way. [https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/shapr3d/original/3X/7/a/7a5dea925c35066596c862cfa7c17d84521ce2e2.MOV](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/shapr3d/original/3X/7/a/7a5dea925c35066596c862cfa7c17d84521ce2e2.MOV) ---

Well, I now have done them both ways so thanks to both of you! I am printing out samples of both to see how they look, whichever looks the best I will be using - thanks again. @TigerMike - this is what i must have done in my example and how I got what the first version, I had no idea what I was doing and I guess I over thought it when I went back. I did learn a ton of other features though πŸ™‚ ---
