Editing – Редагування

Editing text is quite different from other object types in Blender, and happens mainly in two areas. First, the 3D Viewport, where you type your text, and have a few shortcuts, e.g. for applying styles (see Шрифт – Font) – note however, that most Blender shortcuts you know in Edit Mode do not exist for texts. The second place is the Properties, especially the Font tab.

Editing text objects is similar to using a standard text editor but is not as full-featured and has some differences. The menu of the 3D Viewport header offers few options. You have no transform nor mirror tools, and so on. To leave Edit Mode use Tab as it does not insert a tab character in the text, but rather enters and exits Edit Mode, as with other object types.

Menu – Меню:

Header ‣ Text ‣ Special Characters

This is a limited character map to insert characters which aren’t available from the keyboard. Many other special characters can be «composed», see Accent Characters. If you need others, you will have to copy-paste them from an external editor or character map program.

Примітка

The text buffer is in sync with the desktop clipboard. But if it is used within Blender the text formatting will be copied as well. For other ways of inserting a text, see Inserting Text.

Header ‣ Text ‣ Toggle Bold/Italics/Underline/Small Caps

To apply the Bold, Italics, Underline or Small Caps attribute to a set of characters, you either turn on the related setting prior to typing characters, or select existing text, and then toggle desired style from the menu.

Попередження

Blender’s Bold and Italic buttons do not work the same way as in other applications, as they also serve as placeholders for you to load up other fonts manually.

Font kerning is the space between individual characters.

Decrease Kerning Alt-Left

Decreases the spacing between the characters on either side of the cursor.

Increase Kerning Alt-Right

Increase the spacing between the characters on either side of the cursor.

Reset Kerning

Sets the spacing between the characters on either side of the cursor to their initial value.

Previous/Next Character

Deletes the character before or after the cursor.

Previous/Next Word

Deletes the word before or after the cursor.

Inserting Text

You can insert text in two ways: from the internal text buffer or from a text file.

Using an existing text data-block, you can convert it to an object from the Text editor’s header, select Edit ‣ Text to 3D Object, One Object or One Object per Line depending on your needs.

It is also possible to paste from the clipboard or a file, while editing 3D text.

Accent Characters

Many special characters (such as accented chars, which are not directly available on your keyboard) can be «composed» using a combination of two other characters. To do so, type the main char, press Alt-Backspace, and then press the desired «modifier» to produce the special character. Some examples are given below:

ã: A, Alt-Backspace, ~ á: A, Alt-Backspace, ' à: A, Alt-Backspace, \ â: A, Alt-Backspace, ^ å: A, Alt-Backspace, O æ: A, Alt-Backspace, E ª: A, Alt-Backspace, - ë: E, Alt-Backspace, " ç: C, Alt-Backspace, , ¢: C, Alt-Backspace, |

ø: O, Alt-Backspace, / §: S, Alt-Backspace, S †: |, Alt-Backspace, - ‡: |, Alt-Backspace, = ©: O, Alt-Backspace, C ®: O, Alt-Backspace, R ™: T, Alt-Backspace, M ½: 1, Alt-Backspace, 2 ÷: -, Alt-Backspace, : ±: -, Alt-Backspace, +

Converting to a Mesh or Curve

In Object Mode, it is possible to convert a text object to a mesh or curve one, see Конвертація – Convert.

Порада

The topology of the result is usually a bit messy, so it may be useful to use a Limited Dissolve deletion, or apply a Remesh modifier at a low threshold, to clean up your mesh.

Assigning Materials

Reference – Довідка

Mode – Режим:

Edit – Редагування

Panel – Панель:

Properties ‣ Materials

Each character can have a different Material index in order to have different materials on different characters.

You can assign indices either as you type, or after by selecting blocks of text and clicking on the Assign button in the Materials panel.
