Very carefully, so that they don't break when you bend them... Winking

 

One letter at a time is what I usually do.  Then rotate and position the letters to make it look like it is bending with the wall.  I have not tried using a curved reference line as the work plane though (not sure that's even possible).

 

HTH!

You fell victim to one of the classic blunders. The most famous is never get involved in a land war in asia, but only slightly less well known is this! Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line!

i have used a tangent ref plane as well and typed the full word along that but below the actual level

than type individual letter above it.i find it helps a bit to compere the spacings a bit,

before moving and rotating, please remember to disjoin text.

a bugger of a thing,  should be possible to apply directly

 

what about text on plan along an arc?

i can not find a way to do this unless as above and group it to keep it together. 

revit must have been conceived by engineers who only think in straight lines

Err.. I was talking about how I put letters on a curved wall, meaning in plan. It appears as though a similar method is used in both elevation and in plan, however.
