fravelm Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 My students are creating drawings in google drawings and exporting as svg. When I import the file to tinkercad, we only see vectors instead of the object. We're using macbook w/ high sierra.

firstdefence Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Welcome to the Affinity Forum Marianne, but what does this have to do with Affinity?

firstdefence Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 I created these: Untitled drawing copy.svg Untitled drawing.svg in Google Drawings, I removed the stroke and simply downloaded them as SVG files, I then imported them into Tinkercad. There was no intervention by Affinity, in fact when I exported the same shapes to SVG from Affinity I got errors on importing them into tinkercad.

SrPx Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 One very usual workflow of mine ( for making engraved game dices or other stuff for engraving/embossing or whatever) is svg -- > 3D, typically with Blender (instead of tinkercad)). A general advice would be to take care of some things. Some people know it, u never know who do....: Close always shapes (completely closed). Don't leave isolated lines/dots. Some apps ( I don't know Google Drawings, at all) let you put two dots snapped together, visually can look melted, but they are not really melted (that's an open shape). Some apps can extrude a file from an open curve. Some wont. Quote AD, AP and APub. V1.10.6 and V2.4 Windows 10 and Windows 11. Ryzen 9 3900X, 32 GB RAM, RTX 3060 12GB, Wacom Intuos XL, Wacom L.
