      Hi guys. I'm looking for a plugin, or existing tool in Sketchup, that sets up some kind of TEXT editing
      of a 3d Text object. I have a ton of Text to place in various places on a model, and it would be nice just to copy a 3d Text component, click on the copy, and then edit the text...instead of having to create a new one. It would be easier to place the text along the same axis, just by copying and dragging it perfectly inline with the prior text. When creating a new text, it's difficult to "place" the new text precisely along an axis. Anyway, thanks for any help.

        My 2dTools Text does that - with options to enter text-string, font, height, color etc etc....
        It can be applied to any flat surface [it's 2d because it's 'flat' but it CAN be in a 3d space...].
        The 2d text is editable later if desired...

          Additionally, For 3D text, You can use [Plugin] Super Drape v3.1 from a certain .. ..TIG

          and maybe Fredo's [Plugin] Joint Push Pull to give the letters some thickness..
