hi im using a set object to set the letter X from a bang my problem is i dont know how to change the size of the x that appears in the text edit box any ideas?

set-text-change-the-size

thanks man! that seems so obvious! im still new with max but massive thanks!

it's always a good idea to check the inspector for such things. Click the @ sign at the bottom left of the inspector to toggle the attribute names. use those to send messages to the object you are inspecting. there is a ton of stuff you can change with those messages!!

we've all been there, no worries ;)

do you know of any way to centre the text so that its always in the middle of the set block?

Wow I never even noticed the @ button on the inspector before but often wished it were there for these very reasons!!

set text- change the size
