How to change 3D text (even in VCarve) 

If you liked this tip, you are going to LOVE my full Vectric Master Training Course >>> go.learnyourcnc.com/vmtc

I continue to enjoy watching your teaching style Kyle. As you may be aware I have my own RU-vid channel where I do instruction on Aspire, vCarve, Lightburn, and Sketchup projects and then usually make the project. I am not nearly as good as you with the Vectric software - mine is all experience based. If I had to learn a function I know it and pass on what I learned. I signed up for your course after meeting you at the Vectric UGM in San Diego last year. I truly enjoy your course and watch your videos not only for learning more about how to use the software but to try and learn from your clear and concise teaching methods. I learn something each time I watch your videos and regularly recommend to others that your Master Training Course is worth the investment for any aspiring CNC user that has Vectric Software. A quick question about this project because it may relate to an issue I was having with one of the projects I worked on. I noticed that at the end you changed the material to be 1.5" thick to accept the model. I couldn't tell from the video, was the model originally .75" thick? I ask because I ran into a problem on a project I worked on with a friend. Our problem was the model got thicker when we didn't expect it or want it to. We were using the merge function - tried to play with multiply but it still hurts my head using multiply. Haven't totally figured out how to use that function and get the accurate results I want. My original belief was that if I use merge between components it shouldn't add thickness to the model, but for the sake of me it did. After researching online I got the impression that Aspire will determine model thickness based on components on top of pixels below. So no mater what I did I couldn't get the thickness to be what I thought it would be. Even if I used Merge, the model seemed to reflect the thickness of the combined merged components. I noticed that you used merge to put the flat round model into the original model. Then at the end the model was now 1.5" thick. Was this the result of pixel on pixel issue or was your model originally 1.5" thick? Just curious because this continues to bug me and although we adjusted the method used for making the project it wasn't straight forward and never did come out exactly with what we wanted. Required quite a bit of hand carving/sanding after the CNC to get to the end result wanted. Sorry for the long question but you made me think of this old project that I was never able to resolve and didn't know who to ask about it - until I found out how good you are. We can discuss outside this medium if you have time and are interested in discussing. Thanks again. Glad I found your course.

Another well explained video. Great tips as always.

Excellent Kyle, thank you helps me step up my game

Thank you very much !!

Hey kyle watt if there is only one level i am trying to take the text out of Eric Murrys lives together plaque and replace it with a v carve so as to add some colour to it cheers.

Is it possible to display the font in VCarve as heard in Aspire? That was yes two different types!

One difference: The text that you added is an indentation, not an extrusion. Can you replace extruded text with another extruded text?

Can this also be done in VCarve DeskTop?

Every time I go to level 1, right click, select clipping and hit apply all of the model goes away except the words I want deleted?

Very clever I luv it …Ques for those of us living in other countries, can you replace the star and stripes with say a Maple leaf? Ps you do great stuff thank you
