R8 - SR4 - Content Cache Disregarding Text Entity Plane Input

Hello,

I came across a bug in the latest SR4 build in which Text Entity planes are being disregarded by the Content Cache component.

You can see here that the preview has the Text oriented correctly respective to their plane inputs:

However, when Cached into the Rhino model you can see that information is disregarded and they act more like text dots, always facing the camera:

Are you seeing this behavior on your end as well? Perhaps I’m overlooking a new setting that switches being plane aligned and camera aligned text?

Thank you all for your help!

EDIT:

Upon further testing I found the “View Oriented” input in the Text Settings and Annotation Text Overrides component.

While this setting set to a boolean of false within the Text Settings component seems to have no influence over the result, when I apply this same boolean value input to the Annotation Text Overrides component it does in fact work properly.

While I believe this input is intended as the solution, I’m leaving this here tagged as a bug for a chance for the developers to see/respond as it seems like it’s not behaving correctly with Text Settings component itself. Please correct me if I am wrong, thank you!

I’m not seeing the view oriented text issue that you posted above. If I simply open your file and pan around the viewport, with the cache turned on, the text stays oriented to the sphere.

Thanks for checking @AndyPayne. I’ve tested in a new file and can’t reproduce what your are seeing which is also the behavior I’m expecting to see. I’ll post a video and see if any other settings have been changed.

The only thing I can think of is that perhaps whatever default style is handling the text has horizontal to view on by default?

The default text style you are using that works… Does it have the Horizontal to View Boolean checked in the properties window?

EDIT:

It appears that my Default annotation style (which I thought was using all default settings) had horizontal to view checked in it’s settings and this was causing the issue.

I disabled that and it’s resolved now. Thanks for checking!
