Not all text selectable on SVG import

Anonymous — Sun, 29 Mar 2020 15:58:01 GMT

I created a vector drawling with inkscape, but when I import it to 360 a few of the letters aren't selectable.

I attached a screenshot, the R and I aren't creating a vector or something? I'm new to importing pictures to 360.

I want to extrude this image on an object.

Hi,

find & repair gaps or unclosed vectors!

That´s a "normal" process during importing such graphic.

this can be a problem with SVG, as they are sometimes inaccurate. In general, use the "divide an conquer" approach to find the problem areas: find-leak-in-sketch-geometry . Looking at the R, you can kinda see how it works:

zooming in, we can see that the problem is in the left hand lower part:

in this case, there is not really a "leak" here, but what I suspect is a degenerate curve:

I just traced over it with a fit point spline, and then deleted the bad curve underneath:

and, it seems to work OK now:

Thank you. This worked and helped me learn a new skill in 360.
