Creating text in Substance Designer 3D

Question

Hi all, I'm new to Substance Designer 3D, having used C4D and Blender a bit in the past.

I'm trying to create some extruded text, with bevelled edges and to bend it, in Substance Designer 3D.

I believe I need to use a Text Node to do this, but can't find it in the list of nodes when I right-click on the graph.

Is this because I'm using the trial version?

In addition the Node Toolbar isn't visible in the interface, Adobe's documentation indicates it should be visible: https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/substance-3d-designer/using/interface-overview.html

Any help is much appreciated!

Are you creating a Substance Graph (i.e. a procedural material) or a Substance Model Graph (i.e. a 3D procedural model).

If a Substance graph, press the spacebar and type Text to get the text node.

If a Substance Model Graph, there is no text node at present.
