How to put text on a 3d swept object

Post by rhubert »

Does anyone know how I can put text onto a 3d swept object. I used a sweep to create a juggling pin and now I would like to add some text to it but haven't been able to figure out how to do it..

Depends how you want to create the text. If you're looking to v-carve it into the pin then you would create your text with the Text tool and create a v-carve toolpath making sure to check the Project onto 3D checkbox.
