@raja.r,

After taking a closer look at your code snippet, it has more similarities to one of the examples included in the Communicator package - that being the _3D Text Insertion_ example - than to the Sprite Manager class. To view the _3D Text Insertion_ example, please do the following:

- Launch the server by double-clicking _start\_server.bat_ found in the directory _HOOPS\_Communicator\_2024.5.0\quick\_start_
- Load the example in the Web Viewer by clicking the URL:  
[http://localhost:11180/text\_insertion.html?viewer=csr](http://localhost:11180/text_insertion.html?viewer=csr)

As the example demonstrates, the textbox can be selected and moved in 3D space. The code is provided in _text\_insertion.js_ found in _HOOPS\_Communicator\_2024.5.0\web\_viewer\examples\scripts\examples_

Thanks,  
Tino
