Hello,

I was trying to find the limits of our Boolean operations, and discovered a great tip for those who want to use it on designing brands in low relief using TrueType Fonts.

On a first try, some months ago, the result was uncomplete, because of an unperfection on TTF "Explode-to-Slab".

This was the appearance of the model at the first approach.

Here is the same brand using the same TTF (France) and with a different approach for the entities. The problem found there in the letters 'r' and 't' is that those slab edges are hidden (unvisible) after the Explode-to-slab process.

Image

The solution was to Edit the slabs from the TTF made all edges visible.

Image

The boolean operation is complete with all the entities there at the right place.

Image

And the shop name now is great.

HTH,
Miguel
