No color preview for "Text 3D Advanced"component

Hi Frank, FabTool is remarkble~

but i got little troubles.i don't know whether it just happen to me.

trouble1: if there's nothing else(surfaces, meshes, etc)except "text 3d advanced" on preview, the component won't preview anything.

troube2:it seems that my colour input for this component won't work in PREVIEW MODE. i've tried different kinds of colour input components.it seems they don't like me either:( .However it works well after BAKING to rhino as posted below.

Environment:Rhino_5.7.31213.18395, GH_0.9.0066, FabTool_0.92

Hi Turner,

thanks a lot for your nice explanation of these bugs. It's not just happening to you.

As you can imagine the preview of text and annotations is kind of a hack in GH, and so if you display only the geometry types not recognized by GH, the preview of GH will turn off :-(

1) However i discovered a little workaround for this 1 problem some time ago, and it will be incorporated in the next version...release is in some weeks.

2) Also the preview for colors was not planned, but could be a nice feature for the next version ;-)

there is another preview bug, that will be fixed by 0.93: the preview of these special types will not work if you put GH in wire mode display.

cheers
