emboss a font around a circular object
Hey there,
I was trying to get the coke logo kinda warped around this bottle but I just don't know how. I don't wanna engrave it i want it to come out!
Also is there an easier way to make a bottle like this? I just drew the sketch and extruded it 360°.
thanks in advance

Converted it to a sketch in Draft using Draft to Sketch tool.
Created a cylinder roughly the same size as the radius of the bottle where the text is to go.
Used Curves workbench tool to map sketch to face of cylinder.
Created a Draft clone of the body, but I'm not sure that was necessary.
Notice there are some self-intersection issues with your body object.
I didn't have the same font installed, so I used a different one.

What do you do once draft cloned?
Also the clylinder is supposed to be inside of the bottle right?

Re: emboss a font around a circular object
I've made a video on this.
The model is too large to attach, but you can get it from my github site:

Re: emboss a font around a circular object
I was just following your video but somehow (and my revolution sketch is still the same) it doesn't show me any errors in part check geometry.
Here's a screenshot.

Re: emboss a font around a circular object
When you select the face as a reference at around 9:45 into your video it gives me an error.
"'Part.Face' object has no attribute 'cutHoles'"
I did everything the same as you in the video.

Where can I download that. All I can find is 0.18 and that's the one I have!
