To render a Text Block 3D node Kanzi:

• Prepares the text as 2D text using pixel metrics.
• Projects the prepared text to 3D space using the value of Node::Projection2DTo3DScaleProperty to scale pixels to 3D units.

Use pixel values to set the values of text-specific properties such as the FontStyleConcept::SizeProperty or FontStyleConcept::FixedCharacterWidthProperty properties.

Use 3D units to adjust the layout of a Text Block 3D node in 3D space. For example, use 3D units to set the values of the Node::WidthProperty and Node::HeightProperty properties in a Text Block 3D node.

Text Block 3D does not support clipping.

Use a Text Block 3D to display text in 3D space. It uses fonts to render text and has location and orientation in 3D space.

Inherits properties and message types from TextBlock3DMetadata.
