2D Text
 
Used to create 2D text, that can be formatted as in any other text editor, as shown in the dialog below. This 2D text can be saved as a *.png Image that can be used to create Decal.
 
 
 
A Plane can be created by picking two points, in the dialog below, and the 2D text will be attached to it.

3D Text
 
 
In the Create Text3D dialog, the user can type in text, and select its format. Clicking OK will create 3D text parallel to the ground at the center of the 3D area. An assembly with geometry for all letters in the text will be added to the Objects Tree. Different transforms can be applied to the 3D text. A user can also change the material of the generated 3D Text, by dragging material form the materials library, and dropping it on its geometry in the Objects Tree.
 
 
           
 
 
To modify anything in the created 3D text, select the text in the 3D area, or from the Object Tree, to display its properties in the Properties Panel.
