I have a question regarding curve profiles in Geometry Nodes. Does anyone know if it is possible to use an SVG image profile directly as a curve profile in Geometry Nodes? (The SVG is already imported as curve) I know it's easy to select an object in the curve settings in the geometry area, which can be an imported SVG object, among other things. But is there also a way using only Geometry Nodes? Thank you for your support

1 "Curve to Mesh" allows you to specify a profile curve, and you can use an external object's data for that:
You have to import the SVG and eventually process it in a destructive way, outside of geonodes, as there's no file opening capability in GN.

In the "Properties > Data" panel you need to make sure that the "Fill Mode" is set to None:
It is set to Both by default for imported SVG curves.
