3D Polymesh to 2D

Recommended Posts

Is there a way to generate a 2D drawing of from a 3D polymesh? or any mesh for that matter. Flatshot cant seem to project from a polymesh.

i dont know but i counter the problem your facing before.

until know dont know yet how to do that.

 

but here is the meaning of flatshot in f1 help. i guess flatshot is only for 3d solids...

 

With the FLATSHOT command, you can create a flattened view of all the 3D solids and regions in the current view.

 

hope someone here might help.:D

Can you attach the dwg here?

Yep, originally I thought flatshot could also accomplish it, then i tried to use flatten but with undesirable results. now im out of options.

 

You may have some success with either a DXB plotter setup or WMFOUT/WMFIN export/import.

 

Thanks for that SEANT, that definitly is a neat trick. do you think there is a way to export it without its surface tabulations? im lwrapping my mind around this right now

Here's a dwg file of one of the files i hope to convert,. i used SEANT's method(w/c by the way is a cool way to generate a 2d dwg from a mesh), but i was hoping to get a sort of flat dwg output in 3d hidden mode, not showing the surface tabulations.

 

I deleted the wheels from the dwg coz it capped the min 250kb file limit.

If u want to use "flatshot",first you must explode "polymesh".

Then use "region" to get region model.Next you can use "flatshot".

Open new dwg and insert flatshot output block model.Finally you can

explode and easy delete to surface tabulations for your neat model!:)

Thats one way to skin this cat :D. thanks

at this point theres really no way to get around a direct way of doing it, the surface tabulations really have to be deleted manually

. . . .the surface tabulations really have to be deleted manually

 

So it would seem. :(

 

Another reason to use the modern (AutoCAD 2007) Loft, Sweep, etc., entities for new projects.

Yep, the import/export using 3ds didnt work either.

anyways, thanks for the tips guys. real great help

Cheers
