3d Text not extruding - self intersecting geometry


FlairStudio

Question

This might have been discussed already, I just can't extrude the polilines from the text I wish to turn into 3d, probably the font I have to use once transformed into polylines has intersecting geometry. Is there a workaround other than having to trace each indivdual letter?

Also, is there a simple way to show 2d text in the 3d model within the design layer (I.e. on the walls)?

Thank you

Federico

I would try extruding each letter separately or in small groups to see if I could find the problem geometry. Fixing the geometry is the most foolproof option.

You could also run the Simplify Polys command to see if it deletes any coincident points.
