In this livestream, we learn how to design a layered letter charm. We use the Remove Holes and Boolean Difference modifiers to separate the inlay shapes so that we can cut them from a different material. We then use the Expand or Offset modifier to create a backer. We also see how we can use components to separate the different parts of the design.
