Advise needed - Engraving a pattern into a solid.

Hi Michael and all,

i created a while ago a heart in MoI and thought to engrave it with a Reaction Diffusion pattern, which i created in Photoshop and converted it in Inkscape to vectors and finally rebuild the vectors in MoI. So far so good... The problem i'm facing is that after trying out various techniques, the final engraved model is not a solid. :-( As you can see on my second picture the red surfaces are boolean merged with the heart, resulting in a solid, but when trying out engraving techniques for the red surfaces i don't get a solid. I would be deeply grateful for a solution!

Best regards
Stefan
