        I didn't think there was anything strange, either but you're the expert. 😉

          Well I am confused. Which is not surprising. So how is this 3D Text Editor any different than the native 3D Text Editor?

            You can edit the text later on.

              Thanks for this tool, ThomThom:
              I can recall quite a few times where I wished the 3dText was editable.

              I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

                And the text is already displayed while the editor is open so you can change the font and dimensions and see how it looks before finalizing it.

                                  ThomThom,
                                  Great plugin.
                                  Any chance you could make the text follow a predefined path or arch?
                                  Since your plugin works with installed system fonts, would it be difficult to add other typographical controls such as kerning or line spacing?

                                    I just had a request from a colleague yesterday about this. Might do a separate plugin to fit sets of meshes to a path. But no promises.

                                    Nope. Not unless they add these features in the SketchUp Ruby API. At the moment all that I can adjust is in that dialogue.

                                      Thom,

                                      thanks for this plug in.

                                      I like the way I can change text styles, and sizes. However, once I hit close, if I want to edit further, I can't...... Am I missing something?

                                          Thanks TIG.

                                          I missed seeing the "edit text" line down on the bottom of my long list of context selection items.

                                            😕 (SU2013 win7 x64, latest TT_lib (v.7.1)))
                                            there's nothing in combo-box, height parameter is down.
                                            Any hints?
