Curved Model Text

[elky853]

I wanna create curved model text on a wall (like signage). I want it curved upwards (see screenshot). I'd appreciate anyone who can help me out with this. Thank you!

Thanks @syman2000, I already watched this video but it basically only covers curved model text as in on a curved wall. I'm talking about curved signage like the screenshot attached in the first post.

Created Polar array for Model Text and Updated Each letter According to sentence framing

Thanks

Thanks @amarkonathala, but I don't really get what you mean by 'updated each letter according to sentence framing'... Can you clarify please?

Thank you

Ungroup The Array and Update each letter @elky853

When I create the polar array, it doesn't rotate according to the 'reference' [center] point. Am I missing something? @amarkonathala 

[elky853]

@amarkonathala @syman2000 is there anything I can do?

I was using the video I mentioned and do my own spin. In the Family, you define number of alphabet including space to determine your signage text.

Then, remove the repeater

For each alphabet, you define the value. If it is space, you simply delete it to create a space.

The family has a built in arc height and width to get the text arc which you can adjust. Sadly if you want width to be 2m and arc to be 1m, it will break. So you have to set width as 2m while arc to be 1001mm or 999mm to overcome the constraint.

Yeah @elky853  U should Draw the reference like circle or arc..etc and you have to choose center for that 

May be You are missing the place of center of rotation

@syman2000  The Family is Great!

But We have to create new family For every type of names

I think you can create it as a parametric.

Thanks so much @syman2000 for the family!! It's perfect-I simply had to change some of the parameters and I was able to use it in my project! Thank you 😀
