Raised Text on Loft

Raised Text on Loft

Raised Text on Loft

(OP)
We are having a problem with raising text from a loft.  I've used the wrap feature, but unfortunately this can only be used on a cylinder, cone, etc... but not a loft.  Does anyone have any workarounds??


RE: Raised Text on Loft

you could possibly create text on a plane & then extrude it to the loft surface, then, create a sketch perp. to the text and cut it along the surface's profile....never tried before....hope u have luck with it!

RE: Raised Text on Loft

1) Offset surface
2) Extrude text from plane up to original surface
3) Cut text from plane up to offset surface

Great thanks that worked.

RE: Raised Text on Loft

That's what I normally do.  You can get more ellaborate with surfaces in some cases where necessary to create a surface to cut with.
