you can tailor the 3d text without going through any real trouble. goto your furniture and select the text 3d object and place it in plan. select the newly places object and goto file>gdl objects>open object. then you will see the gdl scripting interface. 'save as' the object choosing a new name for it and then click ok. select the 3d script button and at the very top of the code add the line:
ROTY angleY
then goto the parameters button and click on new to create a new variable. name this variable angleY on the button to the right of the name click on it and select the angle icon and in the next text box to the right add a description. "Y-axis rotation" or something to say what this variable will do. save the object.
your new object is created to rotate on the Y-axis. goto furniture and place it. you should see the variable you added in the parameters list where you can change the Y-axis Rotation. please not that to affect the 2d symbol, it will take a little more code, and that this variable will not change its 2d symbol directly but will change the objects 3d position.
