Hi,
I am new to onshape and having great difficulty extruding my logo.

I would appreciate any suggestions.
Thank you,

    How was the original logo created? Was this hand drawn or is there an Adobe Illustrator file out there somewhere? If there's a vector format available, you might be able to leverage that. Realistically you'll need to simplify the crown a lot to do anything with it in CAD.

    Also what are you doing with it ultimately? Is this for some sort of food or soap mold? You might be better off getting this chemically etched into the metal optically instead of machined or 3D printed.

    Hi Simon,
    I created it in Photoshop, then vectorised it in illustrator. Yes, I am trying to create a soap mould. I will get my logo etched into metal, i then have the task of trying to create the round mould tray.😬 Thank you, I appreciate your advice.😄
