3-D Lettering

[wse1]

I have found several "3D letter" families on Revit City but they only include letters "I" "C" "D". I am in need of the other letters of the alphabet to create signage. Does anyone have a complete alphabet of 3d letters or direct me to where I can find one?

Thanks Bill

Ummmm....doesn't model text do the trick?

I was hoping for a raised lettering that looked like it was a carved object. See attached.

That's what Model text is for. Wait, Aaron already said that :)

Model Text should work great for you!

Absolutely Brilliant!

A picture is worth a thousand words...

What sucks about Model Text is that you cannot pick it to create linework from it, like if you want to create a void extrusion with the text's shape, to cut through a plate to create a reverse-text effect.

Here's a plan, type your text using your default word processor.
Now print it to pdf, and then convert it to DXF using a converter.
Now import it in Revit, et voila!

At least, that's how I'd attempt to do it.


Have a nice day.

An easier way would be to do it in ADT, use the Explode Text tool (Express tools) and import/link the dwg into Revit.
