Hi Xara Graphic Designer can export SVG file which can then be imported to some 3d applications. Idon't believe that Xara 3D designer
exports in 3d application formats, I use tinkercad for my 3d design...but I am a novice..

Actually, I know that Xara can export a 2D shape as a DXF file, and I can import DXF into Wings 3D (and I'm certain many other 3D programs too), which you can then extrude using 3D tools. You cannot really do more than extrude it though, as the outer shape is retained but the geometry of the plans are cut bizarrely, but I have gotten it to work. The logo on top and text was created that way in the following image - rendered in Vue Creator.
Can you tell us how you do this, please?

thanks Keith - would that be any better than just exporting svg I wonder for 3D modelling in wings or blender even - I've always thought of DXF as being more of a CAD/CAM or Plotter/Cutter format ...

Agree. @Steve & @Keith
I just wanted to see how this proclaimed 3D poster would respond.
Regards to both of you..
