Exploding Text Not in Archicad 11??

[Dwight]

Was there ever a time where one might explode text into vectors and fills or am i dreaming?

[Eduardo Rolon]

AFAIK you could do it in Autocad, but AC nope.

That's what Illustrator is for.

i remember when i wanted to create a line style with text on it, it seems that i exploded a text and used those lines for the new line text abv it...
it could have been a dream though !!!

I betcha they can do it in KetchUp.

Swell. I used illustrator - since it puts text in a circle and i am designing a glowing medallion, things are going to work out fine.

Explode the 3d text library part. Don't forget to have 'show view in 2d' on.

Yes they can by using the 3D Text tool and then exploding it.

Hey, it is the same procedure, maybe GS is "stealing" from Google.

And it is easier in SketchUp.

Now we need Push-Pull.

I think the 3d text library part had been in ArchiCAD long before Sketchup came along!

That is not the point, SketchUp has it so it does not matter that AC was first, SU's is easier…
