3D Text intersecting floor

Is it possible to make 3D text intersect another object in Motion 5?

I'm trying to do it with a basic setup but when my 3D text 'should' become hidden when it intersects the floor it actually doesn't and always sits in front of it.

If I remember a lesson from Ripple - 3D text only interacts correctly with other 3D text at the moment.
A trick is to make a square (add shape of choice) as a font, and have your text interact with that.

What are you using for the floor? Is it 2D or 3D? If it's 2D then its not going to intersect. If the floor is a solid, put the solid in a separate group and make sure that its a 3D group then try intersecting with the 3D text.

Good Luck

I stand corrected. From the Motion manual:

"Important: 3D text objects only intersect with other 3D text objects. Additionally, 3D text uses only layer order......"
