I've seen your rooster video and now this one, what I am trying to make is a relief Rooster sign with raised letters. It would seem you have to create a new plane that will represent a future flattened area and from the point, the letters would raise up say 0.125 and the rooster would raise up 0.250. I haven't been successful trying to do both yet, mainly because the z for the text and rooster are different but they both "start" from the same thickness of the board (if 0.75", then it would carve down a total of 0.25" leaving the 0.125" text and 0.250" rooster).
Thanks for watching A little hard to explain here but basically create a border around the relief (chicken) so no material is removed beyond the border Enter the text outside the relief border enter a boundary around the text highlighting both boundaries and the text create a v bit tool path limiting depth to the same z as the chicken and that should work Simulate the carve and check to be sure I’m right Hope this helps
@@Hinkleshop I will try that. Would that v bit too path create carved out text or text that looks more embossed or like I bought letters and glued them to the board. Thanks for the videos and response 🙂
@@HinkleshopI get the concept of creating the boundary around the rooster. Problem is, it won't be a nice square box or something easy because of the way the text I'm putting there is laid out. So I'm having issues creating a boundary around the rooster (I'm using polyline) for an area above and an area below. I can create the odd shape (boundary) around the rooster ok, but then I can't match up a boundary for the text area that perfectly matches up to the hand drawn polygon shape, such that a tool path would remove all (other than rooster and text above and below). I really appreciate the help, once I get this, I can pretty much do any combination of relief and text.
Thanks Vernon. You made it very simple. And I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that makes mistakes. Thank you for showing those. Not very many videos creators do that giving the impression they have absolutely perfect results. Keep 'em coming!! (The videos...not the mistakes!! lol )
Thank you very much for the kind words. Thank you for watching and showing my mistakes is what I called the golden rule of the hinkleshop lol. Hopefully I don’t have to use that rule too many times. 😆😆
Thanks for this video, sure needed it. But I have one question. Is there a different way to do ovals like that? I am trying to do one with a shoulder. It seems that I always get toolpaths over lapping. I know that there has to be a way. Again thanks for the info.
Thanks for watching I’m not quite sure what your asking but, if you want to create an oval click and hold the circle tool and a fly out menu will appear with an oval selection I believe
😅 No,no. I have been trying to do an address sign with the numbers raised and with about an 3/8 or so boundary around it. It actually comes from another site. He uses aspire and or vertical. I was trying to do the same thing with carveco maker. Pretty new at this so just trying to put things together. However I did just find one that you have. And I will have to say I like your videos a lot easier to watch for an old but goody. Thanks
@mauricepeters9588 Ok I think I understand now So. Create an oval vector place the text inside the oval Activate the oval and the text limit the depth of cut to whatever the height you want the letters Then deactivate the vectors and create a boundary vector on your stock Activate the boundary And your oval and do an area clearance slightly deeper than the text depth You will then have an oval with letters on top of it Also I may do a tutorial on this stay tuned I’ll try to get it done as quickly as I can Hope that makes sense
Thanks. Im learning this software and im pulling my hair out. Is it possible to do smooth setters instead of square edged letters? Sort of rounded on top. Probably 3d style.
When it comes time to select the text and rectangle, Carveco does not allow me to select both. I can select either the text or the rectangle, but not both at the same time. I know this is most likely operator, so please let me know where I am going wrong. After creating the text and the box, I hit creat at each step. Then I try to highlight both befor I try and creat a toolpath. Carveco won't let me select both the letters and the box.
Nice work buddy 👏 Excellent !!! Let's go....
Thank you!
Straight forward and easy to understand. Should be helpful to a lot of folks learning Carveco. Thanks.
Thank you
Hey there. I agree with Bucky clear and concise. Thank you
You’re welcome thanks for watching
Great video! Its nice when videos are right to the point and simple!
Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it and hope it helps you

@@Hangs4Fun highlight the poly line boarder and do an offset outward you will get a larger duplicate of that boarder then put your text between them

Thank You you are very welcome!
You are a very good instructor wow I have learned so much from you , thank you
Thank you for watching Mark and thank you for the kind words. I’m glad I could help.
Clear and concise! Thank you!
Thanks
Good video. At what point do you save the tool path?
Thank you I save tool paths after all designs are complete and I’m happy with it

To round the top you would have to do a relief carving which is much more complicated
Would this approach work in regular Carveco Maker (not plus)?
@@mikegallagher782 yes it will

To select multiple vectors you hold down the shift key while making selections
How do you add raised text on a relief cut?
Thanks for watching
That’s another video for sure
I don’t have one at this time I will add it to the list in the meantime Leighton @carveco can assist
