Text and shapes carved on mesh

[giacomo_forcina (Giaco)]

Hello everybody,

I am practicing with meshes and I would like to create text and shapes on my meshes for 3d printing.
Now, the first thing I notice is that in GH I don’t have the same behavior of the Rhino function Surface from planar curves .

I am looking for a system of recognition of overlapping regions and then subtract the smaller ones to the bigger ones. At first I tried to use Collision Many\Many, but I can only isolate all the regions that collide, while I would also now the number of collision events that occur (in this case 5).

Another solution would be to call the Rhino function Surface from planar curves in GH from a script editor.
Is it possible?

Thanks for all in advance.

For some reason, my Fabtool’s Text 3D Advanced component draws error in R6.
BTW, another plugin like wombat(Text Outlines)works just fine.

Thanks Kim,

it was simple, I did’t figure out to put a boundary surface component before the extrude.

I finally made the emboss using cocoon and a Boolean difference.

I still have a question: I would like to make closed meshes without using Cocoon

I tranformed the outlines in polylines and extruded them into brep; then simple mesh all. I am stuck on searching a way for capping the text.

Playing around with delaunay doesn’t work because it has to work with any text if I change it.

Any ideas?

thanks in advance!
