Changing default color of 3D text

[bobrsta]

Happy New Year to all!

Quick question to the wise people of the forums:

I place a lot of 3D text in my models. Default color is gray and I always change to black. Any way to set black as the default color for the 3D text? Seems to be different than the regular (arrow) text.

Thanks!

3d text is a collection of geometry - so the 'container' can be colored, or when it's edited its individual faces can be assigned different materials - including mapped textures.

So new 3d text always has no material - and therefore it is displayed with the default front-face color set for the current Style...

I understand... thanks, TIG
