Hello!
I’m trying to add 3D text as an engraving in a 3D model. And in this youtube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9t5iVj9vAk ) at 00:51 they use ‘Text 3D Advanced’.
It is a plugin which you have to download but it has 4 errors when I open it in Grasshopper.
Here they talk about the same problem, but the answer they found doesn’t completely fix my problem…
SOLVED: For anyone looking into this thread in the future, this has been solved in Rhino 6 with a C# script (courtesy of qythium ). See posts from 24th of April which contain a working definition.
Note warnings from obsolete code are still present but do not prevent operation.
ORIGINAL POST
Hi all,
Wondering if anyone has come across a 3D text tag that can be produced, then manipulated inside grasshopper? I know Grasshopper has a built in 3D text tag, but it has no output for further manipula…
If someone knows another way to make an 3D engraving in a model, I’m open to any suggestions!
Thanks in advance!
ps. I downloaded the plugin here: FabTools

Hi Debora,
The script produced by @qythium in the link you uploaded (discussion from 2 years ago) can export both text, and curves - if that helps?
Cheers
