I am a very new user to Moray and POVRay, and I am trying to figure out
how to make the text sit ON a button, for 3D web buttons.  Is there a
way to set the options so that the text is on the button instead of
inside it.  Also, I have had problems flipping text forward so that it's
legible.  HELP!

Thanks so much!

It sounds like you want the text IN FRONT of the button.  If that's the
case, then use your top view and select your text object.  Position it along
the X so that it sticks out in front of your button by a small amount.  If
the text is way out in front the button, shadows will appear - you may or
may not want that.

Since the text is an object, you should be able to rotate it in any
direction so you can read it.  Try manually entering a value (180) for
rotation.  Good luck.

Mike
