How do I change the text of a MeshResource.generateText after I have created it and added it to an anchor?

Hello,

You will need to replace the MeshResource (which had the old text) of the ModelComponent of your entity with a MeshResource that has the new text.

For example:

Code Block 				let originalTextMesh = MeshResource.generateText("Hello", extrusionDepth: 0.01, font: .systemFont(ofSize: 0.1))
        let entity = ModelEntity(mesh: originalTextMesh)
				let newTextMesh = MeshResource.generateText("World", extrusionDepth: 0.01, font: .systemFont(ofSize: 0.1))
        entity.model?.mesh = newTextMesh
