Hi

the problem, I think, is that you have white areas in your design and these are filling in the circle in x3D

[see the top attached]

to fix this

1] select the large white circle and the large red cicle behind it and press
ctrl+2 to subtract

2] seleect the small white circle and the black object beneath it and press ctrl+2 again

you should then have as shown at the bottom attached....

Thank you handrawn, I have made as you said and it works, but I still have 2 problems. I want the circle in red and the picture inside the circle in black,the second problem is that the sentence(www.bierzoairelimpio.org) does not appear when I export to xara 3d. How can I solve?

thank you

this is a two stage process

you have completed stage 1 by getting the shape into xara3D

now you need to select all your objects in your .XAR file and export them as a .PNG file

this .PNG file you then import into xara3D as a texture

I will post up some screen shots - but may take a short while

Hi

in texture options - with 'text' option selected as shown, click 'load texture' and the program will ask you for the file name

your drawing is too small for texturing, so you need first to make a copy of all the objects at larger size and export these as .PNG

I increased the size to 500%

An alternative if you do not wish to resize, would be to export the PNG at 600dpi [the default is 96dpi] - you can type this value directly into the export dialog bitmap size tab

there are some rough edges, and some black on the outer edge of the logo - this is due in part to rough edges on the objects in the XAR file I think - also make sure you are at maximum view quality in xtreme when you export your .PNG [ I don't think I was ]

Once again thank you very much handrawn, I have done as you said and the result is very good

I attache the final resut

Thanks a lot
