Convert To¶

Curve from Mesh/Text¶

Reference

Mode: Object Mode
Menu: Object ‣ Convert to ‣ Curve from Mesh/Text

Mesh objects and text objects can be converted into curve objects. In mesh objects, only edges belonging to no faces will be taken into account. The resulting curve will be a Poly curve type, but can be converted to have smooth segments as described in Set Spline Type.

Mesh from Curve/Metaball/Surface/Text¶

Reference

Mode: Object Mode
Menu: Object ‣ Convert to ‣ Mesh from Curve/Meta/Surf/Text

Converts the selected curve, metaball, surface and text objects to mesh objects. The actual defined resolution of these objects will be taken into account for the conversion. Note that it also keeps the faces and volumes created by closed and extruded curves.

Grease Pencil from Curve/Mesh¶

Reference

Mode: Object Mode
Menu: Object ‣ Convert to ‣ Grease Pencil from Curve/Mesh

Converts the selected curve/mesh to a Grease Pencil object with strokes matching the curve/mesh; basic materials are also add. When multiple curves/meshes are selected, they are all converted into the same Grease Pencil object.

Options¶

Keep Original: Duplicates the original object before converting it.
Thickness: Strokes thickness.
Threshold Angle: Threshold value that determines the strokes end.
Stroke Offset: Sets offset to separate strokes from filled strokes.
Only Seam Edges: Convert only edges marked as seam.
Export Faces: Convert faces as filled strokes.
