Subdivision Surface icon to view its menu, and then select Extrude.

6. In the Object Manager, select the Text object, and then drag it to the middle column to the
right of Extrude to parent it. You’ll know you’ve positioned it correctly when the cursor
becomes a box with an arrow pointing down.

In the Object Manager, the Text object appears nested below the Extrude object, indicating the

8. In the Attribute Manager, select the Object tab, and then change the z-axis Movement value
to 10 cm to reduce the extrusion depth.
