Engrave tool

The MySegmenter Software offers the Emboss/Engrave tool to add custom text to the surface of a 3D model — either recessed (engraved) or raised (embossed). The result is generated as a new node; the original model is never modified.

Steps:

  1. Select a model from the dropdown, listing all models in the scene. This is your source model — it stays unchanged throughout.

  2. Choose a mode:

    2.1 Engrave (default): recesses the text into the surface

    2.2 Emboss: raises the text above the surface.

  3. Enter your text in the text field. Standard alphanumeric and symbolic characters are supported, on a single line. Text cannot be empty.

4.Adjust parameters as needed (all update the live preview once a placement exists):

4.1.Text height: Range: 0 – 10 mm, default: 3.00 mm

4.2.Depth (engrave/emboss): Range: 0 – 5 mm, default: 0.7 mm

4.3.Rotation: Range: Range: 0–360°, default: 0°

  1. :Place the text::

    5.1.Click :Place: — the cursor becomes a crosshair.

    5.2.Click on the model's surface to position the text.

    5.3.To reposition, click Place again and click a new location; this replaces the previous placement.

    5.4.Click :Delete: to remove the current placement preview and reset placement state (only enabled once a placement exists).

  2. Click Apply to generate the final model.
