Rendering 3D Text Makes a Line Show Up Behind Text

I have Photoshop CC 2017 and am a newer user. I have followed tutorials and created a 3D text image. Everything looks good on it, but I render the image to clean it up some and that is when a line shows up behind the text, which seems to be connecting all the letters together. Why is this happening and how do I get rid of the line?

Correct answer davescm

Yes of course

With the object selected in the 3D panel - go to the properties panel and click "Edit Source". This will open a psb file in the same way as opening a smart object.  Edit the text then close and save that psb file.

Your model will change. You will of course need to render again.

davescm​ On a different note, do you know if there is an easy way of changing the text after creating the 3D text? Like, I would like the change "Soccer" to "Darts" without having to create it from scratch.

davescm​ I did both of those suggestions and rendered again and no line! Thank you so much for your help.

    davescm​ I have attached a screenshot of the before rendering. Then I included a screenshot of the photo in the InDesign flyer I am creating to show the line behind the text. It appears the line is showing up before rendering, as that red line is there. That appears to be the issue here.

    That red line prior to render is just the 0 axis marker on the groundplane.

    I can't tell if your model is cutting through the groundplane.

    Try these two things.

    Select the model layer in the 3D panel and in the properties panel select co-ordinates (at the top) then click on "Move to Ground"

    Also just to test, go to Environment in the 3D panel and in properties change Groundplane shadows Opacity to 0%

    Can you show a screen shot of the rendered line and the full screen prior to render (this one with the move tool selected so we see the objects and groundplane)  It could be a few things but without seeing both those we will be guessing.
