Hi all! 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 …

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 [image]

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

[image] Leyna: I dont understand you explanation It is quite common when there is no script attached. There is no :man_mage: here. We can’t see what is inside your definition. But I think I understand you problem. Put your grid location into a plane component. XZ or YZ ? [image] You can …

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. Daylight Test Model_Rotate Text.gh (284.1 KB)

[missing] Your GH file is useless to anyone without your plugins. Plane orientation is one of the most basic concepts in GH.

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 ori…

[image] Leyna: Great, then I assume you have a solution.. That is a mistake, for the reasons already stated.

I have internalized the data… as stated above. No you can use the file without plug ins, its a very basic GH concept.

[image] Leyna: its a very basic GH concept. Yes it is. [missing2] [missing3] [missing]

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.

An updated file… I believe I got it all internalized this time
