Hey Alvin, What exactly are you trying to do with the dot? The text is already considered a "shape" so when you use the text tool, you just type in the word you want and you can edit the size and rotate it as you would with any shape. If you are trying to edit the dot separate from the rest of the word, I would remove the dot first and then use the cylinder shape and edit it in the way that you want. if you are unsure how to remove part of an object, look at the Tinkercad Tutorial #5 about half way through and you will see how to do that. If I didn't answer your question or you are still having trouble, please let me know. Thanks!
@@alvint4944 That is correct. You would either have to put the word flat on another shape (back of word touching shape and letters raised off of a flat platform) or delete the dot in the i and use the cylinder tool to make another dot and position it where it is just touching the rest of the letter. You could also just create a simple line shape and position it between the dot and the rest of the letter to create a support for the dot.
@@quicktechtutorials7289 yes, thats what I did, hid the dot, and created a new cylinder amd have it touch the rest of the i, but if we could just convert the text into shapes or curves, we would easily be able to edit or "distort" the text to our needs.
@@alvint4944 That would be awesome. While Tinkercad is a great basic tool for free, it certainly has limitations compared to a full 3D modeling program
@@riyadh1121 No Worries. While there is no specific option to create multiple rows of text, I would simply duplicate the first text row you created. In the duplicated row, I would change the text to whatever you would like it to say in the second row and then move that duplicated row into the position you want. Finally I would group both of those rows together so they will move and change size as one object. Hope this helps!
Thank you so much! I was getting annoyed that I had write words with single letters.

How do you go about the "dot" of the letter i in "Tutorial"? Is there a way convert the text into shapes?

How to make it into two line?
What do you mean by two line? If you provide a little more detail, I will try my best to help you out!
@@quicktechtutorials7289 sorry I mean to put text into two rows
