3D text in IFC (from IFC2perceel)

Hi
I need to add text to clarify site numbers in a hard-coded fahion. I'm wondering what a fool-proof way is to assign 3D rendered text in Blender to IFC. I've tried a few things but .. nothing works. You have the 'Annotation' class but I think this does support 3D text. I do hope there is something more in IFC than this proxy solids method.

Any guidance would be appreciated. Files come from the work of @Jan Brouwer

    Parcels together. Anybody got a clue how to add modeltext as IFC?

    I don't think there's a method. You could convert your 3d tessellated text to 'extrusions', so there's less file bloat.

    Yhe part of getting text 3D is the easy part. Any idea what ifc categry to use?

    Oh, maybe IfcAnnnotation?
    or IfcVirtualElement?

    IfcAnnotion would be the right classification, but bear in mind not many IFC viewers support it, so it will not be shown. If VirtualElement not good either, you can go with IfcBuildingElement[USERDEFINED]: Annotation - or something like that.
