Well, I was able to add labels by adding a Text2D shape under a TransformGroup that was translated to the upper bounds of the associated shape. The placement is not perfect, but that is a different issue. Right now I'm concerned about the size of the labels. The text is tiny compared to my objects, even when using a font size of 240. How do the font sizes compare to meters? Is there a way to scale the text relative to the size of my shape3d? -Lisa
