@Sokol! Shame on you, I thought I recognized that name!

@Sans2012, if you have someone who knows the program guide you through it, you wouldn't need to save or export in order to render. Rhino comes equipped with two plug in renderer's; the standard Rhino Renderer and Tree Frog.

If you have a grasp on AutoCAD commands already, Rhino's command line takes all 500 or so of those commands as well. Extrude is a command you can type in, or find on the tool bar and drop down menu to create surfaces in. No need really, when there are two forms of text you can create in Rhino. One is a solid, and the other is the normal text used in dimensions which you can get to appear in your renders using the "Render Dimensions and Text" options in the Document Properties dialog window.
