Can I add 2d vectors to a 3d dome?

Post by jaru-eri »

I have a 2d knife handle pattern which I want to add as a layer on the top of a curved surface. Will that be possible in v-carve v 9.517?

Jim is correct, but you need to have a 2.5D model of the curved surface for the Project Vectors onto 3D Model to work.
