Separate Letters
Enable this option. Now choose Functions > Make Editable. A new object is created that has a separate
spline child object for each letter of the text. The object axes of the separate letter splines are placed
at the baseline of the chosen font. This option is especially useful when you want to arrange text (the
separate letters) along a spline.
Plane
Choose in which of the three planes the text is created.
Reverse
Enable this option to reverse the text’s points (but not the text itself).
Intermediate Points, Number, Angle
These interpolation settings dene how the intermediate points of the spline are produced. For more
information on these settings, look up ‘interpolation, spline’ in the index.
Vectorizer
Vectorizer allows you to create spline outlines from 2D pictures. To turn the outline into a 3D object,
make the Vectorizer object a child of an Extrude NURBS object.
