can TextOut3d text be laid down ?

The text I put on my surface is upright, can I lay it down so it will appear normal when looking directly down at the rotated surface

Hi Thomas,

Instead of TextOut3D use RotateLabel3D which additionally allows you to set the rotation degrees.

Thanks for the reply.

RotateLabel36 will rotate in the z plane, what I want is to lay the text down so it is in the x/y plane, the same plane as the surface.

Any ideas on that ?

Later,
Paul

Hi Paul,

Have you tried RotateLabel instead of RotateLabel3D then?

RotateLabel also rotates in the Z-plane.

Other Ideas ?

I'd hate to have to impliment text labels on the surface with 'OnGetColor' if there is a easier way!
