BOB'27T Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 If you have an item that has been extruded that shouldn't be, you use the FLATTEN command to unextrude it. Or if you have a 3D polyline, flatten will make it into a standard 2D polyline. Hope this may help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strix Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 sometimes 2D drawings get out of shape too - and wind up with a z value flatten sorts those out too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cad64 Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 And any drawing that you receive from a civil engineer usually has elevated contour lines. So I typically Flatten a copy of their file to use as a base for my drawings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
