Export 3D Model With Watermark

[stevenccm]

Hi all.

I can’t seem to export a 3D model in Sketchup together with watermark. Is it not possible to export a 3D model with watermark?

Thanks!

How to add a Logo to your SketchUp models using Watermarks

Yes I’m able to add a watermark to my sketchup model. And it works great when I print the model.

However, when I try exporting it as a 3D model (i.e. .dae or .obj file), the watermark goes missing.

Thanks if advance for your help!

It depends on the final goal and why do you want to add that watermark, but as a workaround, there may be several solutions:

• imprint the 3D model of the logo directly into the geometry of your model (export as OBJ file)
  

  
  
  
  

• insert the 2D image of the logo as an object (export as gITF/glb file)
  

  
  
  
  

• apply your logo on texture of the model (export as OBJ file)

A watermark is only an image overlay. It is not part of the model. As mihai.s indicates, you would need to add your “watermark” as geometry that is part of the model.

Thanks for your solution mihai.s! And for all other replies.
