I need to add text tags to grid points on a vertical plane but I cant use 2D text tag because they show up through walls and 3D text tag natively lays them down (shown in snip). What is the best way to get these to display vertically on the wall? I do have Human and have been trying to use justifiedtext 3d and have been unsuccessful. It is also important to note associating one plane will not work as the walls face all directions and I need the labels to be oriented correctly on each wall.
Hello
In Text Tag 3d you have a plane, don’t chose XY plane but XZ or YZ ! You can also make your own plane if you want different direction. You surely use a point that is transformed to a XY plane with an origin at your point.
=> USE a plane
Thank you for the quick response! Unfortunately I dont understand you explanation… I am using sensor points from a grid as location and do not see a place to “select” a plane
Thank you for this. Unfortunately these solutions arent working. I have attached my file with labeled grid points and text laying horizontal where I need them to stand up vertically and it overlaps when I put in the actual values and not my test panel.
Yes, my apologies, I thought I had internalized the data…. here is the file again. Should be internalized.
Great, then I assume you have a solution..
The difficulty is not just a single plane orientation, I need the tags oriented to their respective planes. The snip shows the tags vertical but orientated to the XZ plane so is backwards or perpendicular in some places.
Evaluate surface will find the vector you need for each plane. If your surfaces are flipped, you will have to evaluate the directions to get them all sorted out.
Thank you so much for the response! Your snip is exactly what I am looking for and yes, there analysis surfaces vertically oriented for walls.
Unfortunately I have tried your example, replacing the Text with the sensor point values from the panel and the tags are still laying horizontally. Ive tried to rotate the plane and use the UV direction without luck.
The snip shows my current set up. Ignore the 2D tag set up, as mentioned those show through walls so I cant use that component.
here. We can’t see what is inside your definition.
