How do I display a 2d text in a 3d game?

i was browsing construct 3 example projects and came across "infinite car racer" and "challenge room"

played around with both and noticed something different

i was able to straightforward add a text object in "challenge room" and it displayed like how it would if you were working on a 2d project. however, when i did the same for the other game, the text was displayed the same angle as the 3d world

can someone explain what the difference is between the two projects?

See the section 'Using 2D Layers' towards the end.

You probably just put it on the wrong layer.
