Hi everyone! I’m very new to Shapr3d. I have a question regarding adding text at the BOTTOM side. The text gets flipped horizontally and I couldn’t figure my way around it.

Have you tried rotating the text sketch plane before extruding it?

Rotating is possible but regardless of what angle, I couldn’t figure out how to flip horizontally like if I was in the FRONT plane.

I had that issue recently and had to rotate it twice.
