About this asset
Surface Text Placer is a simple editor tool for placing
TextMeshPro text on flat surfaces directly from the Scene view.
Activate the tool, click a surface, type your text — the inscription
appears at that point oriented to the surface normal and parented to
the target object so it moves with it.
No Canvas. No world space UI setup. No manual positioning and
rotating to match a surface. Just click and type.
Text are fully editable after placement. Select any inscription
in the scene and change the text, font, size, color, alignment, bold,
italic, surface offset, and rotation directly in the Inspector with
live scene preview.
Each text remembers its original placement position. If you move
it manually you can save the new position as the new original, or reset
back to where it was first placed. Tool settings persist between sessions
so you never lose your configuration.
Built for level designers and environment artists who need to place
signage, labels, room text, warning signs, or any surface-aligned text
quickly without leaving the editor.
