No. This is not a bug. As Massimo alludes, 3D Text is created as a component with gluing. To move it in the third axis (in and out as you're looking at the text) you need to remove the gluing characteristic.

There is TIG's 2D tools suite, one of which is Fillet. You can also set it to do a chamfer, I believe.

You can model the background and project the textures to it.

Thanks! Rescaling helped. I didn't realize that working in small scale could be a problem - this solves also another problem I had (couldn't draw an arc because the scale, as in real life, was too small).

I have the same problem to rotate the match photo, please provide the name of the plugin.

Many Thanks

You don't need to rotate the photo. You may need to re-orient the axes. You can just re-orient them directly without a plugin or if you want to redefine solar north, get the Solar North plugin from the Extension Warehouse.

You can use, for example, the Remove all materials plugin and then do "purge unused" materials.

Make that rectangle into a component which glues to "any" face (and cuts a hole, too, to avoid Z-fighting). Make sure to set the component axes so that the red and green axes are lying on the face.

Now whenever you pull one from the component browser, it will try to self-align itself to any face you snap it to. You may still rotate the component on the face but that should not be an issue.
