Curves and Text

Trigger

Use this skill when the user:

• Creates a curve or 3D text object from a script (bpy.data.curves.new, type='CURVE' or type='FONT')
• Mentions splines, bezier_points, bevel_depth, bevel_resolution, use_fill_caps, extrude, TextCurve, body, align_x, or Bfont
• Needs the vertex positions, bounds or face count of a beveled curve or extruded text
• Reports that a tube renders as a hollow pipe, or that text dimensions do not match the numbers they set
• Hits ReferenceError reading a mesh after to_mesh_clear()

High-level shape

A curve or text object is a Curve datablock, not a mesh. Author it on the data API, link an object to a collection, and read geometry only through the depsgraph:
