        This seems to be turning in to a sort of 'could you just upgrade the entire SU toolset?' πŸ˜› Im not complainging though!

          How would THAT work?
          I think the idea of an 'ONSURFACE' button is looking better all the time. (I mean, we'd have an on surface toolbar, with the line, offset, circle, polygon, arc, drape, rotate and move!) onsurface button...please...

            Well, if move on surface could work, this should also work! Bu that HOW, just don't ask me, please. I always wish world peace as well but how that would work, I can't imagine. πŸ˜’

                I think that 3D text on surface will be easily made with the drape on surface tool.

                Here Fredo explains the drape on surface and uses the example of text:

                  My TextTag does that but only does 2D (3D text) on surfaces - it could easily be adjusted to give other options like extrusion thickness.

                    This is Mucho Groovy-o. Thanks a lot. πŸ‘ πŸ‘ πŸ‘ 😍

                    Using this with JPP is awesome. I don't know how to draw anything yet, but I'll get there!

                    If I make it look easy...It is probably easy

                              I think the REAL question here is

                              "how would you invisage" 🀣

                                    I'm really just following what ely862me said πŸ˜„ ...
                                    To be able to select a curved face and be able to follow it through a line, rather than just a flat plane.

                                            Joint Push Pull

                                            I imagine the shape was made by first drawing the egg shape, then using the tools on surface to draw the first 'break line' on the egg. The bit above te breakline would then ahve been selected and shrunk using joint push pull. rinse and repeat.
