Hi,

I have a question, is there a way to do a 2d pattern and then project it on a 3d object,  
for example, create a 2d sketch, suppose text, and project it on a 3d object, suppose a ring.  
the text becomes the ring itself.

Thanks!

Yes. We’ve just released our projection tool.

I think this is not exactly what I want,  
this is more like make a pattern with a template on an object.

I think I want a different thing, or maybe I don’t understand something.  
suppose I have the a word ‘HELLO’, 2d closed sketch. and I want to bend it.  
bend it to be a ring, or something else.

how can i do that?

We don’t have a text tool, but if you sketch the letters, then you can project them on any surface.
