As brian said, you don't have to flow line to line but surface to surface.



Now you have to do choice how you do the target surface :
- iso curves and cutting
- boolean cutting
- another method you choose ?

---

Thank you all, but could you explain it a little more precise

---

First, Flow use source and target to adapt objects from source to target.
Those Source and target can be both curves or both surfaces.

Documentation for Flow is here
http://moi3d.com/4.0/docs/moi_command_reference8.htm#flow

Documentation for Iso
http://moi3d.com/4.0/docs/moi_command_reference7.htm#isocurve

You have to turn your drop to avoid problems with cutting an edge next.



Use ISO curve -----> Construct/Curve/ISO



When you have your curves, you can select drop + Curves and Trim it -----> Edit/Trim




Now you have a surface which could be a target surface.

Construct a rectangle on your Text which could be a source surface.




You can now use the Flow function -----> Transform/DEform/Flow




If you want delete the cutting of your drop, select text on drop Copy it with Ctrl/C

press Undo many time to return on the situation you want then Paste iwith Ctrl/V

Size of flowed text could be adjusted by:

Change 2d rectangle size.

Or change text size,

Or ...

Ratio of height to width may also change, unless...

As Brian wrote it, I explain the theory to be easy understood.

Next you can tune your process as Brian wrote it if you want a better result by modifying your source or/and target surfaces.

---

Thank you all. I will try it tomorrow.

Very good result!

Can alignment of text be slightly changed by moving and/or slightly rotating base surface?

---

I didn´t try it.
