Hi @Indyflyer Welcome to the Forum  
I am not able to offer you a solution to your enquiry but do have a deep interest in Importing Text to S3D.  
There is a huge interest in this aspect amongst Members, as a simple Search will reveal, and recently the Official interest of S3D was expressed:

I am also very interested regarding your **Use of the Feature** you require.  
Please can you explain what the **Full Rectangle** will achieve compared to the **A Shape**?  
Your input will be greatly appreciated.

Given that a Text Feature may not be available for some time several alternatives have been suggested by Members, over a very long period. For ease of use, those that deploy the whole of the required Annotation seem to be best. **Whole Annotation** refers to a single **Character** right through to a **Lengthy Combination of Text and Symbols**.

Happy S3Ding.
