Text3D

Text3D object allow users to put text on 3D model view.

Syntax Example:

...
<O T="Text3D">
...
...
</O>

A Text3D object is required to have 3 Point objects to define its location.

Example:

<br><O N="Text3DObject1" T="Project" Category="3D Geometric Objects" TransAlignRule="Right"><br> <!-- created by ParamML Examples on 01.02.2023 --><br> <O T="Surface" Thickness="20" Opacity="0.6"><br> <O T="Point" X="0" Y="0" Z="0" /><br> <O T="Point" X="30" Y="0" Z="0" /><br> <O T="Point" X="30" Y="30" Z="0" /><br> <O T="Point" X="0" Y="30" Z="0" /><br> </O><br> <O T="Text3D" FontSize="5" Label="Text on 3D Model" X="5" Y="15" Z="25"><br> <O T="Point" Z="0" Y="5" X="0" /><br> <O T="Point" Z="0" Y="-5" X="0" /><br> <O T="Point" Z="5" Y="5" X="0" /><br> </O><br></O><br>

To display a calculated value in the text, you can use the "||" symbol between statements. This will cause the expression inside the "||" to be evaluated and displayed as the final result.

Example:

<br><O N="Text3DObject2" T="Project" Category="3D Geometric Objects" TransAlignRule="Right"><br> <!-- created by ParamML Examples on 01.02.2023 --><br> <O T="Surface" Thickness="20" Opacity="0.6"><br> <O T="Point" X="0" Y="0" Z="0" /><br> <O T="Point" X="30" Y="0" Z="0" /><br> <O T="Point" X="30" Y="30" Z="0" /><br> <O T="Point" X="0" Y="30" Z="0" /><br> </O><br> <P N="ForceX" V="12" /><br> <P N="ForceY" V="17" /><br> <O T="Text3D" FontSize="5" Label="Calculation=|ForceX+ForceY|" X="5" Y="15" Z="25"><br> <O T="Point" Z="0" Y="5" X="0" /><br> <O T="Point" Z="0" Y="-5" X="0" /><br> <O T="Point" Z="5" Y="5" X="0" /><br> </O><br></O><br>

The "Text3D" object has another special use. Using the expression "|Self.N|", the name of the project object is automatically written on the 3D object.

Example:

<br><O N="Text3DObject3" T="Project" Category="3D Geometric Objects" TransAlignRule="Right"><br> <!-- created by ParamML Examples on 01.02.2023 --><br> <O T="Surface" Thickness="20" Opacity="0.6"><br> <O T="Point" X="0" Y="0" Z="0" /><br> <O T="Point" X="30" Y="0" Z="0" /><br> <O T="Point" X="30" Y="30" Z="0" /><br> <O T="Point" X="0" Y="30" Z="0" /><br> </O><br> <O T="Text3D" FontSize="5" Label="|Self.N|" X="5" Y="15" Z="25"><br> <O T="Point" Z="0" Y="5" X="0" /><br> <O T="Point" Z="0" Y="-5" X="0" /><br> <O T="Point" Z="5" Y="5" X="0" /><br> </O><br></O><br>
