<p>As stated in the question I am trying to combine a drawing I have in .svg format with a simple cylinder in order to make a printable medal. I have tried the following code :</p>
<pre><code>union()       {
    
translate([25,25,0]) cylinder(h=1.5,r=25,center=false);
translate([7,7,1.4]) linear_extrude (height=1.5) scale([0.2,0.2,1])  { import(&quot;/Users/tijg/Documents/projecten_actueel/3dwerk/eik/eikenblad-boom.svg&quot;);}
}
</code></pre>
<p>In the preview all looks well, but after rendering the drawing on top disappears. As I remove the cylinder, the drawing of the .svg renders perfectly and is printable. Any help much appreciated.</p>

As stated in the question I am trying to combine a drawing I have in .svg format with a simple cylinder in order to make a printable medal. I have tried the following code :
union()       {
    
translate([25,25,0]) cylinder(h=1.5,r=25,center=false);
translate([7,7,1.4]) linear_extrude (height=1.5) scale([0.2,0.2,1])  { import("/Users/tijg/Documents/projecten_actueel/3dwerk/eik/eikenblad-boom.svg");}
}

In the preview all looks well, but after rendering the drawing on top disappears. As I remove the cylinder, the drawing of the .svg renders perfectly and is printable. Any help much appreciated.
