3D text disappears - text properties

[gbettega]

Hello,

searching for a little help about the following topic:

 

I've built a minimalist GUI using 3D picture control: when the mouse enters the control and moves,

a text is added close to the mouse position, indicating the coordinates of the point.

Problem: according to the relative position of the text object and of the solid, the text disappears

behind the solid, as shown in the pictures.

How to avoid it?

Thanks in advance

Giovanni

 possibly relevant? (besides perhaps just projecting the text more into the direction of the observer, out of the solid)

Thank you for the support,

actually I was able in the past to obtain, using try and error (no other way seems to be possible when dealing with 3D picture) to obtain the desired effect.

I lost my example ... and now I'm lost :-)

I'll try to remember, or I will replace the text object with a string indicator somewhere in the panel
