display the name of a material in the 2D symbol.

Anonymous · ‎2009-10-21

Hi All
i've been playing around with this hopefully someone can help.
I want to display the name of a material in my 2D symbol.
eg if a material parameter is set to "paint 1"
how do i get that name to display in the 2d symbol?

Add this to the 2D script.

TEXT2 0, 0, material_param

0, 0 can be substituted with the co-ordinates of where you want the text to appear.
material_param is the name of you material parameter.

It is very easy to go looking for a difficult soultion in GDL and miss the easy one.
I've done it plenty of times myself.
