Are you using non standard font formats?

The way I've done this before is to just hide the top edge of the slab and bottom edge of the wall; this way it doesn't display.

it's just 3 monitors!

@tt_su said: What about the normal Text tool? click on empty space and it creates text that is fixed in the view. Though you have to put it on a separate layer that toggles for each scene. (There is a plugin to create a layer that is visible only to the current view.) Yeah I got this answer on the Google forums and this seems to be perfect for what I need it for, I've already been using the Add Hidden Layer plugin. @glro said: Maybe this plugin http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=38171 adds a text box on each scene This looks like a useful plugin but seems a bit complicated for my purpose at the moment. The standard Sketchup text tool works fine for me. The ideal would be a plugin that uses the Sketchup text tool but gives an option to add a solid/semi-transparent background to the text, just for clarity's sake. Thanks for the responses.
