Hello,

Anyone here tackled billboarded text yet?

It looks quite cumbersome, as pfBillboard is a pfGeode,
and it seems that a major hassle is involved:

- get strings from pftext
- for each string traverse characters
- for each character, get the geoset
- add geosets to the billboard

Is there an easier way?

I always wondered why pfBillboard is derived from pfGeode.
Surely a derivation from pfDCS would make more sense?

Thx,
     Bram
