Text

The display text to use. Press enter on the keyboard to insert a line break.

Font family

The font family used to create the 3D Text object. Dimension will display from all fonts installed on your system. Fonts in the same family will be displayed in a group.

Use favorite to set fonts to use with the favorite filter.

Font style

Select a font style from the current font family, such as italic, bold, narrow, or other variations. Not all font families support multiple font styles.

Character spacing

Uniformly changes the horizontal space between all characters in the 3D Text object.

Line spacing

Uniformly changes the overall height between lines for 3D Text objects that have multi-line text inputs.

Alignment

Controls the distribution of lines and characters relative to the pivot.

Size

Adjust the vertical and horizontal size of the 3D Text object, measured in scene units. Changing the size does not impact the depth of the text.

Depth

Controls the depth of the 3D Text object. This does not affect additional depth caused by bevel effects.

Width

The bevel's thickness, measured from the outline of the text to the centerline of each glyph as 0-100%.

Angle

The bevel angle, measured from the base of the glyph to the edge of the bevel as 0-100%.

Repeat

Controls the number of times the bevel is applied across the width distance, from a range of 1-10.

Space

Controls the amount of space between each repeated bevel, as a range from 0-100%.

3D Text objects have material regions defined for the face, back, sides, and bevel areas of the text. The regions will be preserved even when changing the text and bevel properties.

Dimension generates new surface area when changing a 3D Text object's shape with its properties like depth and bevel settings. Your materials will adjust their position but not stretch.

Changing the shape of a 3D Text object with the transform tool will apply as a modifier on the entire object, stretching materials and features like bevel edges.
