I am wondering how to add characters to a ruby model.  
I have a ruby code that builds a simple 3D model. Now I want to givea  
name to a certain room. Those letters can be written on the bottom of  
the room. Please let me know where to start.

Thanks,

Well, um, yeah. There is no possible way anyone can help you with your  
question. Vaguely worded and missing about 90% of any sort of real  
needed information.

To start, please answer the following:

1. What are you doing?
2. What libraries are you using?
3. What do you mean by “room”?
4. What is this 3D model used for?
5. What do you mean by “bottom”?
6. Is this really the right place to ask?

Sorry, but you can’t ask such vague assuming questions and expect  
helpful answers. You need to work on figuring out first what your real  
problem is, then how to explain it in the cleanest way possible to  
help those of us (aka, all of us except you) understand what you want.
