What I’m trying to accomplish: Create a 3d printing key chain with the logo on it.
I have a logo that I created in Illustrator, and export out to a DWG and imported that into Shapr. The black will be the “surface” of the keychain several mm thick, and the white and green will be extruded onto it, with raise logo.
From what I gather, I want to “project” the logo, but I’m not doing something right. Any help would be appreciated.
Projection doesn’t work the way you’re trying to use it. Imagine shining a projector through a stencil onto a surface — the pattern of light and shadow is the projection. Now imagine the surface and the stencil lie in the same plane but are offset from each other — what would the result be?
Here is the simplest way in your case.
If you’re just needing the JL logo to be on top of the backer, use the align tool
click the top of your JL logo, then click the Align button on the left, then drag the center point on the JL logo to the center point on your backer…. click Done.. it should move it on top of the back, centered.
you won’t need to Project if that’s all you’re trying to do.
but if you ARE trying to Project, I’m pretty sure the image you are Projecting needs to be above the backer you are projecting on to.. (and I think you have to use a Sketch to project, not a body…. I could be wrong, I’m pretty new to Shapr3D as well)…
Body can be projected as well.
