Hi,
how can I create a hole in a geometry with text?

For example, if I have a box and the text hello, how can I create a hole in the box with that text?

Thanks.

thanks for your answer :slight_smile:

do you know if you can do something similar with shapes and holes? using the text as a hole in the shape.

If you generate the text outlines yourself, you can do it like in this example:

Thanks, finally I did it

I created a geometry with the text and I extracted the shapes array from it.
I mixed that with an extruded shape.
