      Hi Again 😄

      I'm afraid i'm having another little problem for a model i'm making.

      Let's say I have a cube. I put 3D text onto it saying "hello"

      I paste it to the other side, but it is the wrong way round. Hopefully the image will make it clearer what I am trying to do. I need some way of flipping it so it "turns" I have tried flip along axis but no joy.

      Thanks,
      SA

        You could use the scale tool, holding the ctrl key to make it scale around the centre point.

          Hi SA, It may be important that which axis you are flipping it along. Try all axes (I guess the red would work with the default 3D text)

            Hi Shipaddict, hi folks.

            Normally, 3D text comes in as a component. This component will assume a normal position on whatever flat surface.

            However, if you are not sure or you have exploded the text, see attached SU file for ideas.
