# Changing 3D Text Properties

When you add a 3D Text node to your scene, the default text string “Text” appears. You can easily change this text string.

To change a text string:

1. Click the Text field.

   The on-screen keyboard appears, representing the character set for the selected font. Enable Up ASCII to access the rest of the character set. If the selected font has special symbol characters, enable Symbols to see them.

2. Type your text string or use the on-screen keyboard.
3. Click Exit Keyboard. The text string is displayed in the Text field and automatically updated in the scene.
4. Use the settings in the 3D Text tab to change the font, size, depth, and other text properties.
