Plugin for 'Text 3D Advanced' in Rhino 6.0?

[dgeradts]

Hello!

I’m trying to add 3D text as an engraving in a 3D model. And in this youtube video (Platre Rhino Grasshopper - YouTube) 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.
Does anyone know a good alternative or a way to fix these errors?

Here they talk about the same problem, but the answer they found doesn’t completely fix my problem…

Explodable 3D Text - Similar to Fabtools 3D Text Advanced

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!
Debora

ps. I downloaded the plugin here: FabTools

Hi Debora,
Did you get your problem solved? I had a quick look and presume you are trying to get the text contours?

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
