Adding 3D Text

3D text can be added to your landscape using the 3D Text
object. Since 3D text appears in the Top-Down and Perspective views, as well as
during a Realtime Walkthrough, it is very versatile and can be used for labels,
signs, and more.
To add 3D text:
1.
Click the Add 3D Text button, which is found near the top
of the screen under the Utilities tab.
2.
Click on your landscape design where you wish to place the text.
3.
From the dialog that appears, type the desired text and click the OK
button.
4.
Modify the style of the text as needed. See below for a list of available text
properties.
The picture below shows an example of 3D text being used to
display a name during a Realtime Walkthrough.

Tips:
• You
can toggle the appearance of 3D text by clicking View, Show/Hide
Objects, and selecting the 3D Text option. For more details,
see Showing and Hiding Objects.
• 3D
text can be scaled and rotated as needed.
