Hello There,

I am looking to flow two sets of extruded texts onto specific areas of the surface, similar to the image below.

I have attached the code for your consideration and I am sure the solution is fairly straight forward but I don’t seem to understand it for now.

Thank you so much for your help

Thank you so much for your reply, this was really helpful. The code works great and I just made some changes to it. Also still struggling to get more fonts :sweat_smile: but will continue looking.

Was looking at Riccardo’s Link and the fonts are available. Any suggestions how to proceed?

I was thinking of getting the centre of each letter and then orienting XY Plane to them. However, the centres are not perfectly aligned (as seen around the blue line) and when you have alphabets like ‘i’, there is a dot and the line which create two parts basically. Also the spacing.

I was trying to find the centres of each word and the orient them XY to the Planes which you found previously in the code, however, I am having a little trouble. I passed a line through all based on one centre so that all alphabets would have a common orientation point, but not able to sort that out.

In case you haven’t found how to control fonts (or if it helps others), this is one way. These grasshopper functions are part of the Fennec tools.

If you have Rhino 8, you really don’t need to download fennec or any other plugin to deal with fonts. >>> Grasshoppper Rhino components
