Helloo, I'm trying to make a location bug that auto scale with the amount of text input, I used the slab as the background bar, I have tried using simple method of making the slab a child of the text but the scaling is not consistent, when I input less text the slab does not downscale to the right size of the text, when I put more text the slab seems to scale more than the amount of text placed, my last try was using Visual logic, Text bounding box width-Max Value-Offset-Slab x Scale, however I get the same results of inconsistent scale of the slab. But if I use a normal quad everything autoscales well, the problem is when I use a slab. Any solution to this. Thank you.

Do you just need rounded ends because you can just use a quad and then make the rounded ends you want and attach them at each end and push and pull them instead of trying to get the scaling correct. Its what I often do. Or push a mash with the correct shape cutout instead.

Yes I want to take advantage of the slanting(skew) and then round the ends, I tried using an already skewed material on the quad so that the quad takes the shape of the material, the problem is when I input long text because the material only scales on the x axis that stretches it to a point where the quad looses that nice skew shape. Any idea I can approach it, thank you.

I have done faux skewed quads with a 3 part obj file. Even made it by hand. Triangle - Quad - Triangle.

You could make beveled pieces this way too. Scale the middle and move the caps.

I'll also try that too. Thank you
