Vertical Text in 3dModelSpace

Hi
excuse my English.

I work with VB.NET.

I need to put a vertical text in 3d model space in a 3d point position for example (5,5,5).
that is, with its head in the z direction (global) upwards. And feet on the plane parallel at the xy plane.
I try with "verticalmode" but don't works.

The .net guide don't help me.

Can you help me?

What you need to do is set the Normal property of the Text. Depending on your need, figuring what normal vector to use could be a little tricky.

The normal should be a unit vector (a vector whose length is 1). For common 2d or 3d objects placed parallel to the XY plane, the normal is (0,0,1). If you wanted to place text parallel to the XZ plane, for instance, you would make it's normal (0,-1,0)
