im a student who has just started using Vectorworks this semester (i have 2011 and i am running it on Mac version 10.6.7 if thats any consolation...)
anyway im creating a 3d kitchen and i have made a rangehood so thats all fine, my problem is that i need to include the logo and it needs to be slightly extruded so i can get a few more marks.
Basically ive tried doing it through importing a transparent .png but it just comes up wrong (blacking in parts that dont actually exist), Ive tried saving the logo through Illustrator as an .eps which turns up fine when i import it but i dont know how to make it into something i can extrude... Ive saved it through illustrator as an Autocad file (.dwg - i go import>single DWG file>inside the dialogue box that comes up i select 'convert objects to: All 3d>click OK>click Done) which comes up how i want it but i dont know the next steps to take to make it so its extrudable, it just refuses... so i messed around a bit and converted it through using the option in Modify>convert>Convert to 3D polys - which after i apple+u (ungroup) it seems to have made it into a bunch of lines... but i can work out how to make that into a shape i can extrude????
could responses have directions in them if possible as i am still new to to this program and will probabally get lost
