**Extrude**\
Adjust extrusion length from base of shape. Bevel begins at the end of the extrusion. \
\
**Expand Edges**\
Adjust expansion of shape outline. \
\
**Bevel Size**\
Adjust the amount of beveling\
\
**Bevel Depth**\
Adjust the length of the bevel inward or outward.\
\
**Bevel Segments**\
Adjust how many segments are used for the bevel. More segments will create a more rounded bevel.\
\
**Bevel Curve**\
Adjust how the bevel curves toward the end of base extrusion. Lower values will create an inverted curve. \
\
**Z-Offset**\
When using multiple bevel copies use this to slide the bevel forward and backwards.\
\
**Bevel Backside**\
Turn this on to create a bevel on the backside of the text rather than it being flat.
