Text

Behavior

Converts any written text into geometry. Provide a font and text string, and the node generates the corresponding curve shapes for each character. The output can be extruded, transformed, or sent to fabrication. Requires a Font input node with a pre-uploaded font from the Assets panel. Each character becomes a separate closed curve. The output is curve geometry - extrude it with Extrude Curve to create 3D text.

Inputs

Font, String

Outputs

Curves

Pairs With

Font, Extrude Curve, Move

Behavior

Breaks a text string into individual characters and generates each one as separate geometry positioned at the same origin. Useful for per-character manipulation like spacing, rotation, or color.

Inputs

String

Outputs

Characters

Pairs With

Text, Move, Linear Array

Behavior

Calculates the similarity or "distance" between two text strings. Returns a numeric value indicating how different the strings are - useful for comparisons or pattern matching.

Inputs

String A, String B

Outputs

Distance

Pairs With

Match Text, Replace Text

Behavior

Merges multiple text inputs into a single continuous string. Inputs are joined in port order with no separator between them. "Hello" + "World" → "HelloWorld". For a separator between parts (like a space or comma), use Text Join instead. Additional input ports can be added via "add port" to concatenate 3+ strings.

Inputs

String A, String B

Outputs

Result

Pairs With

Text Join, Text

Behavior

Combines multiple text strings using a specified separator between each element. The separator can be any string, number, or special character. Unlike Concatenate which joins without separator, Text Join inserts the separator string between each input. Useful for building CSV data, paths, or formatted labels.

Inputs

Strings, Separator

Outputs

Joined

Pairs With

Concatenate, Text Split

Behavior

Divides a text string into a list of parts based on a delimiter or pattern. The inverse of Text Join.

Inputs

String, Delimiter

Outputs

Parts

Pairs With

Text Join, Text Fragment

Behavior

Returns the number of characters in a text string, including spaces.

Inputs

String

Outputs

Count

Pairs With

Text Fragment, Text Case

Behavior

Changes the case of a text string. Supports uppercase, lowercase, and title case modes.

Inputs

String, Mode

Outputs

Result

Pairs With

Replace Text, Trim Spaces

Behavior

Extracts a portion of text based on start and end positions. Returns the substring between the specified indices.

Inputs

String, Start, End

Outputs

Fragment

Pairs With

Text Length, Text Split

Behavior

Searches for a substring within a text string and replaces all occurrences with another string.

Inputs

String, Find, Replace

Outputs

Result

Pairs With

Match Text, Text Case

Behavior

Finds occurrences of a specified substring or pattern within a text string. Returns a boolean indicating whether the pattern was found.

Inputs

String, Pattern

Outputs

Match

Pairs With

Replace Text, Text Distance

Behavior

Removes leading and trailing whitespace from a text string. Supports three modes: Start (leading only), End (trailing only), or All (both sides).

Inputs

String, Mode

Outputs

Trimmed

Pairs With

Text Case, Replace Text
