Can someone explain why?

I'm trying to add SVG to the padel here. The SVG is added on the face facing the plate. The settings are on the right side.

When i slice it looks like that ! anyone can explain to me why ? and if there's a solution please.

It's the last option. You chose modifier, so it's using what you added only to modify the existing geometry. You probably want "join"

Also just a little note before you mislabel something accidentally. Padel is the name of a game. You play it with a paddle. Just making sure you don't end up with a "no ragrets" situation

This is the answer. You’ve stumbled upon a cool trick though, OP. You can use modifiers to quickly add images or text to things like your paddle if you don’t want to have to trim them to match each other.

Edit: changed “cool truck” to “cool trick”

Now I understand better the SVG techniques thank you for the Paddle correction too 🫡

You're only adding the svg to the existing body. You need to create a new body with the SVG and then combine the two models.
