Hi
Simple question for you guys.
I have to embed a body within a body so I can 3D print in a different colour. I thought simple but it has shown a few issues.
First I tried creating the first object - a disc 3mm thick, then add text to the surface of the disc and use offset face with new object selected to a depth of say 1mm. This appears to work but a weird surface effect occurs and it does not act like an embedded object. It does not show in wireframe view although it will show it to you if selected!
Second tried creating the disc again making it 3mm thick then hiding it then adding text and using offset face again making the text 2mm thick then showing the original disc again - that does appear to work as far as printing in colour but has to be exported on .obj but does not show in wireframe view.
Is there a much more simple approach to this?
Cheers
