Hi Suzanne
The V3 is available to download as a full copy 1 month trial
A good ring project is from 1 of jesse's tutorials (thank you jesse) , briefly
You use the oval profile (dark purple) on the top and do a 2 rail sweep down the blue and pink , while in sweep command pick the scaling rail (dark red )
It is worth extruding the centre circle to see what the ring will look like when the centre is removed (at this stage you can turn the points on the red line and move them to change the shape)
select the created blob and boolean difference out the centre circle or cylinder if you are using it as above
Make sure the Aqua profiles follow inside the edge and booleandiff the edges off with the aqua profiles and delete the extra (this gives a flat edge to the band)
Lastly add the solid letter to the top with text
send to printer :)
Have fun , this can take a few goes to get the sequence right , note when drawing this all the profiles must touch
cheers
