Text

Zapworks Designer includes easy to use Text components. These text components are perfect for displaying information to your user.

Designer includes 2D and 3D headings, subheadings and paragraphs, giving you full control over the appearance of the text in your scene.

3D Text cannot be used in Screen UI or Screen only scenes. 2D Text can be used in all scene types.

Adding Text

To add a Text component to your scene, select the Text icon from the Components Panel and drag the desired 2D or 3D text onto your canvas.

When you select your text in the canvas, the properties are editable via the Properties Panel.

Editing a Text component in an AR scene

Here, you can edit the following:

Property	Description
Transforms	Edit the Size (Width and Height), Position (X/Y/Z coordinates), and Rotation (degrees on the X/Y/Z axes) of the Text. You can also change the component’s layer Order (forwards or backwards) relative to other scene components.
Curve	2D text only. Add a curve to the Text and choose whether its curve direction is None, In or Out, as well as the degree of Curvature. You can also have it Wrap around a curved target if there is one present. See the Curved Image Tracking documentation for more.

Actions	Create interactivity by adding an on tap Action to the Text.
Transition Effects	Add an Enter or Exit transition effect to the Text.
Shadows	Allow Text components to cast or receive shadows.
