Note: If no HUD is present when the text is selected, press F7 or D to display the Text
HUD.

When a text object and the 3D Transform tool (in the toolbar) are selected, the 3D
transform tools become available in the HUD. These additional controls allow you to
transform the text object in X, Y, and Z dimensions, regardless of whether the group is
2D or 3D.
