Purchase pattern question?

[jaustin]

looking to possibly purchase carvebuddy oaktree pattern.
Trying to do a view of the carve to show a friend.
My question is would i be able to add the heart and make it a recessed heart into the tree after purchasing the pattern?

[gwhiz]

Yes you can.

how would i be able to do the heart, i played around with it for a couple hrs and couldn't figure it out.

Try "invert"...

I couldn't do it with a carve region based on a path either. So I imported a black heart clipart as a pattern and dropped the pattern on top of the tree. As you can see in the screen capture, I made the heart Subtractive. You can then play with the height setting to get the amount of depth that you want.

Thanks got it to work. On the text did you use center line?
If sohow did you get to carve blow surface?

[gwhiz]

It is Centerline text. Just click "Conform" to sync it to the surface below.

Thanks,
Looks like I am going to have to come up with $300 this weekend. To upgrade software and add conforming vectors.

Guess I am going have to make my machine finally start paying for it self instead gathering saw dust..
