Posted on March 8, 2013 by Bill McKown, Visualization Solutions Engineer:
Here’s another tip for another Friday. We receive a lot of questions about merging some 2D elements into 3D designs. For example, if you wanted to add lettering to a tire like below. Shape Merge projects a 2D elements (the tire’s lettering) onto a 3D element (the tire), and cuts the mesh so it can be further modeled or materials can be added to the lettering.
In this week’s video, I will walk you through the Shape Merge:

I hope this short video helps you get creative and explore the capabilities of Max. Come back next week and I will have another Friday Max tip ready!
Happy Visualizing,
