Select "3D Text Object" from the ARCHICAD Library in Object Settings dialog. It can be found in ARCHICAD version's Basic Library/ Furnishing/ Decoration folder by default.

Step 2: Define Text

Define the desired text, Font Type and set the inclination angle to 0 under Parameters tab. Select "Show view in 2D" checkbox in 2D Representation pop up as shown in the picture below:
