Trying to import a SVG with multiple parts as one object?

[fribse]

I would like to create some multicolor designs for 3D print.

I have a SVG that shows as one part when I import it to tinkercad, making it easy to center according to other bodies.

But in f360 it is imported as multiple. If I then extrude them, I can group them, but I can't make it align as one body.

I want to overlay the svg on top of another body I've designed, so that I can color it in Bambu Studio, but multi color design (not layer based) is very new to me 🙂

1. extrude 1. profile

2. Extrude 2.; 3.; … > option „Joint“

For detailed instructions you would have to upload the file and say how the elements should be connected.

Hi @g-andresen 

Thankyou for helping me, I'm very new to this, and I've searched like crazy to find a solution.

I've attached the svg below. As you can see it's quite a few seperate objects.

I want to make a simple coaster, so I've made a base for it, I just need to get them aligned.

I want to make for a few danish football clubs, and I have their logos as svg's, but my problem is to get them treated as a whole.

It worked, thankyou. I could align it perfectly and make the rest of the coaster, weehee.

Can I bother you with another question? I have another svg logo, but for some reason ONE of the letters in it is not selectable, the Y, I have no idea if it's me doing something wrong, or maybe the SVG is bad?

Hi,

When importing SVG, there are unfortunately occasional errors in the profiles.
You can use the divide and conquer method (intersecting lines) to detect such gaps.

Ok, geez that is cool, I got it working with that method, now I just need to place it like the first one, thankyou again @g-andresen !
