• Side Placement: A pop-up menu to choose how the mapped image or texture is applied
to the sides of the text object. Choose one of the following options:
• Normal: The image or texture is mapped onto the front and the sides of the text
object in the same direction.
• Turn 90°: The image or texture is mapped onto the front of the text object; the same
image is mapped onto the sides of the text object, but is rotated by 90 degrees.
• Stretch From Edge: The image or texture is mapped onto the front of the text object;
on the sides, the pixels on the edge are repeated, so that the pattern appears to be
stretched over the sides of the text object.
• Position: Value sliders to set the location where the image or texture is mapped onto the
object.
• Scale: A slider to adjust the magnification (zoom) level of the image or texture being
mapped. Click the disclosure triangle to reveal separate X and Y scale sliders and the
Scale With Font Size checkbox (described below).
• Scale With Font Size: A checkbox (available when you click the Scale disclosure
triangle) that, when selected, causes the size of the applied image or texture to change
proportionally when you modify the font size of the text object.
• Rotation: A dial to rotate the mapped image or texture around the Z axis. Click the
disclosure triangle to reveal separate dials for rotating around the X, Y, and Z axes.
Shared Placement controls
These controls appear in the Options section of the Text inspector when the Placement
pop-up menu for a material layer is set to Shared. These controls are identical to the
Independent Placement controls described above.
Global Placement controls
These settings apply to all images being affected by Placement controls, independent or
shared. These controls appear in the Options section of the Text inspector.
