Floating TexT Help

Hello, I have seen this only a few times but I just can’t fine it and maybe somebody would have an idea.

I would like to make a map of a region and place down little blocks with a floating text script inside each one describing the building or lake or anything, the problem with floating text is that the depth perception is always off, but I have seen this ac few times before where there is a line extending down from the text to the prim or some cases I have seen that looks like ascii text blocks leading down to the object, just a easier way to show where the floating text is pointing at.


Thanks if anybody can help on this.

if I understand what you mean, then you simply add "\n|" to the end of your text (or multiples of that string), and the | character will form a line down to your prim.... it will also push the text upwards
