Since my reply to Matthew has bounce back, I'll reply to you two at the
same time. The solution you propose is unfortunately impracticable for the
application I work on since the j3d scene would have to be printed and we
need a high resolution printing. Labels will look badly if scaled too much
that's why I need to generate them directly at the right size.
Thank you for replying,
Stephane
