3D text not being created as a solid? - SketchUp Forum

If you are trying to create "solid" (3D) text in engineering software:

: Using the DirectXTK12 library to draw 2D text over your 3D scene.

: If your text won't turn "solid," check for overlapping characters (like "A" and "R" touching). You may need to adjust the letter spacing (kerning) to ensure the paths don't cross. 3. Archive Files (D12.zip)

: Manually loading font glyphs into a vertex buffer to render them as actual 3D objects with depth. 2. 3D Text in CAD (Solid Edge or SolidWorks)

: A technique used for crisp, scalable text that remains sharp even when zoomed in.

: In a sketch, use the Text tool to type your string, then apply a Boss-Extrude to give it thickness.
