3D text object in Grasshopper?

Grasshopper

Hi, Rhino has a Text object command which makes a 3D piece of text in 3D space. Is there an equivalent in Grasshopper? All text commands seem to relate to text strings, rather than generating a Surface / Mesh…

Hello
there are many text tools in Grasshopper.
Grasshopper => Text on surface

Parakeet => output curves
Opennest => curves
Nautilus => output curves, surface, extrusion

Thanks. I was wondering if I could avoid even more plugins but I guess not :slight_smile:

Cheers!

Thanks Wim, looks like the kind of thing. What are the two components before Boundary Surfaces?

Thanks, I don’t seem to have those. I’m in Rhino 6 - might be a newer version or a plugin.

Hi Derek -

That’s correct. Those are new in Rhino 8.
