Adding a 3D Text Node

When you add a 3D Text node to your Action schematic, a special geometry node with an axis is added.

To add a 3D Text node to the scene:

1. Do one of the following:
   - Drag the 3D Text node from the node bin and place it in the schematic.
   - Drag the 3D Text node from the node bin and place it where you want it in Result view.
   - Double-click the 3D Text node. You do not need to be in Schematic view to add a node in this manner.

   A Geometry object, called Text1 by default, and parent axis appear in the schematic. In Result view, the default Text string appears.

2. To open the 3D Text menu, double-click the 3D Text node in the schematic, or follow the tab population rules for the Object menu.

   See Populating Menu Tabs of Selected Objects.

You can also add a 3D Text node using the Presets node. See Using 3D Text Presets.
