Locate Text, Boolean WRAP, cutting objects on surface Grasshopper

Hello world!!

I hope anyone can help or contribute i would be so appreciated. :head_shaking_horizontally:
I’ve been trying to find the best way to wrap and control TEXT or any geometry to apply onto a surface and cut it, my best example of this if anyone who have worked with solidworks knows the cutting/Boolean operations are really really simplified and quick, compare with the Solid difference (Boolean difference) you can find in Grasshopper.

I’ve been able to wrap my object and have a cut, but before to get into that point before i have a bunch of components, so i would like to see if there’s a less time consuming (computing) way to do Solid difference and also How to have better control to locate in this case the text to but use as “cutter” for the solid difference?

By location i mean see the text along the profile, or in any better case having the chance to rotated or position the text wherever you want to cut.

I have used Surface Morph component and TEXT component for this operations.

I expect someone really can help!
Thank you!!!

That’s great, didn’t come out with the idea of using Domains.

I’ll work more on this to have more control , because the Text can be a variable, not always it will be the same amount of letters, so how to find the way to always centre the text along the Tube(profile) and the text to be scaled automatically based on it’s length?

I’m working on one approach I’ll be back with the updated.

Thank you @leopoldomonzani
