dvddvd 14 Posted February 15, 2021 but put a block shadow behind it disco block.vDoc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dvddvd 14 Posted February 15, 2021 Then i want to cut the black block shadow out in one piece and then layer the red DISCO on top. There seems to be a padding around the font and when i try to cut the black block shadow out it wants to cut the white lines out too not just a solid black block? any ideas? thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

haumana 1,220 Posted February 16, 2021 The simple answer is that you cannot just do the background without the actual text while it's still in font form. You need to convert it to curves (line drawing), then edit out the nodes you do not want. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dvddvd 14 Posted February 16, 2021 Hi I did weld to convert it so its editable. Then I changed it to colour wire view and deleted the bits I didnt want. It worked in the end but I thought there would be a quicker way? Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haumana 1,220 Posted February 16, 2021 It would be helpful when asking for assistance, if you post what you have tried first, so that others can help you do corrective step, streamline the process, or confirm what you've tried is the only way to go. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

darcshadow 1,626 Posted February 18, 2021 I would convert to curves, then do a break apart and weld. It'll leave you with just the black shadow. If you still want to words, you'll need to duplicate them and move them out of the way before doing the break apart and weld. Also, you might want to do some node editing on the text, there are what look like some stray nodes causing sharp points in the S, C, and O 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
