U.S. "Sign ADA 14" Question

Craig Bagley
Contributor
This object has several sign "types". One is called "Custom".

While I can get a picture file to work correctly with a "Custom" sign, I can't seem to add any custom text when this parameter is turned "On". Does anyone know how to make this parameter work?

Craig:

This object is not scripted to add the custom text when the Custom sign is selected. From the 3D Script:
if styp_m=1 then call Men_rest parameters ALL
if styp_m=2 then call Men_ISA parameters ALL
if styp_m=3 then call woMen_rest parameters ALL
if styp_m=4 then call woMen_restisa parameters ALL
if styp_m=5 then call rest parameters ALL
if styp_m=7 then call stairs parameters ALL
if styp_m=6 then call rest_isa parameters ALL
if styp_m=8 then call no_smok parameters ALL
if styp_m=9 then call isa parameters ALL
if styp_m=10 then call fire parameters ALL
if styp_m=11 then
add .015,.04,.001
		If gs_cust_p <> "" Then
			picture gs_cust_p, a-.03,zzyzx-0.08, 0
		Endif
So when the standard sign types are selected, the script calls a macro to generate the 3D sign and text. When the Custom option is selected, just the bit map file is used, no 3D text is generated. It seems like the custom text option should have been disabled when selecting the Custom sign option. You could look at one of the macros to see about adding the custom text when the Custom sign option is selected, but it looks like the text would overlap part of the bit map, so some additional adjustments would need top be made.
