Arc control for SVG imports

[iron-bro]

there have been so many times in tinkercad where I imported an SVG pattern and wanted to wrap this around a cylinder and it has been extremely frustrating to try various workarounds which often involve many steps and often do not properly curve the model around.

The text shape already has 'on arc' controls that allow for control over this. Can it pleeeeeease be added to svg imports?

Unless this has already been added, I have tried to find controls for this but have not found any in Layerling yet.

I certainly can't answer the question about whether the feature can be added, but here is the process I've used in the past to handle this use case.

Thanks - and thanks @makinglayerschannel for the workaround video. You are right, there is nothing for this yet: "on arc" for text lays the letters flat along a circle, like on a coin or a lid, it does not wrap anything around a cylinder wall.

I'll build it: an imported SVG gets a setting to wrap it around a cylinder of a given diameter. The relief stands up and bends around the axis, and like curved text its centre is the centre of the circle, so centring it on your cylinder puts it right on the wall - raised as a solid, or engraved as a hole.

I'll post here when it is in.

It is in 1.36.0. Lay your SVG flat on the plate the way it should look from above, select it, open "Wrap around a cylinder" in its settings, enter the diameter of your cylinder and click "Wrap". Then select it together with the cylinder and centre both on x and z - it sits right on the wall. "Inward (engraving)" puts it into the wall; make it a hole and group it with the cylinder to engrave. Undo lays it flat again. Reload the page to get it.

If you find layerling useful, a small donation helps me keep improving it. Thank you! 🙂

This is an awesome feature!
I posted a quick video showing this new feature. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3Vma-0s9Q8
