importing SVG in unity while maintaining text co-ordinations

Archived Forums Questions & Answers

Hi everyone

I’m working on a project in unity in which we’re modeling a room so users can walk in the room virtually.

On the ceiling of the room, there are names of people written on a panel, and the whole ceiling is available as an svg file.

What I want to do is to import the svg into unity, to make the room, but have the ability to search within those names.

So for example, when a user searches for a name, the unity application should be able to locate that name within the ceiling, and then the camera should move to that location in the room.

I’ve seen that there’s an SVGAssets available for unity, but am not sure if it’s the right tool for me, given that I want to maintain the co-ordinations of the names.

Could you guide me in the right direction please?
Thanks

For SVG rendering, you could use this plugin,
for searching for a name you, could use the file name of the SVG.
