Lingo for 3D text
In addition to working with most existing commands and properties, 3D text also adds some
Lingo properties of its own. These properties give you a more precise way to define the
characteristics of the text than is possible using the Property inspector.
These properties can be set while the text is in 2D mode. They have no visible effect until the text
appears in 3D mode.
When you access the properties listed in the following table for an extruded 3D text model that
you created using the
extrude3D command, you must refer to the model resource of the text.
The Lingo syntax for this is shown in the following example:
member(whichMember).model[modelIndex].resource.3DTextProperty
For example, to set the bevelDepth property of the first model in cast member 1 to a value of 25,
use the following syntax:
member(1).model[1].resource.bevelDepth = 25
