hi, i could not find the video, but did you change the text into curves? select the text, do right click -> change object type and take "curves". next move your text curves in front of the goblet with gripper and apply "project curve surface"

hi, meanwhile i got the video. i realized that "change object type" is no longer necessary for a imprint projection of text.
most important will be to move the text to the right place and holding the option key while doing a "project curve surface"
be sure to pick a long enough distance as vector towards the surface

hi,
maybe this video can help

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hkc-G6pDiAQ

from minute 4:30 there is an example how to move a text into a desired position to proceed

Below is another video imprinting text on a non planar surface and offsetting that might help.

Was hoping to get some more input ?

Hi rokoko,
I did not think to do that, didn't even know you could. I did send a screen shot and thought that would help but...
Here is the file I am working with. I am basically trying to apply daughter's name to goblet along outside in upper curved area. I just upgraded to ViaCAD Pro 10 with Powerpack last night thinking that my lesser version was maybe the problem, either way more is better ! Thanks for your time. Jesse

Hi rokoko,
Thanks for taking the time to look over my file and try to help me. I had trouble figuring out how to delete text. The concept explorer must of somehow showed misc. things I had inadvertently added that should not have been there ?
I tried to follow the directions as accurately as I could but I think there are some details missing that I should probably know. I did kind of get some text added but when trying to select text and raise as it shows in the one video from Tim I find that the letters are not working as they should. The inside cutouts of R, a & e are treated as part of selection when the should be hollow. Can't seem to figure out how to fix that. Any ideas ?

Thanks,
Jesse

Link below to a video using your example file to project text onto a curved shape. Once projected you can offset the face to inset or protrude the outline on the curved surface.

I think we may need to add the Option to embed as a pull down which might make it easier to see/access.

another option for an imprint to the first surface only (not every surface on axis) would be helpful

To avoid projecting to both sides of the cup, place the text inside the cup and project out to the surface.
