Dadgad Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Is it a drawing of a tower, or a 3D Model? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f700es Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 If it is a 3D solid(s) you can do FLATSHOT or FLATTEN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dadgad Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Not to mention VIEWBASE, but that won't allow you to trim your lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f700es Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Flatshot won't destroy the original and will give a good 2d images that can be trimmed, if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f700es Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Well if it is already flattened it can't be again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I think he means he used the command in another drawing and it worked. In his current drawing (tower) it does not work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f700es Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Flatten can only work on solids, not faces. Might be the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Mather Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 More information is needed. What error are you getting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes thats what i mean. Anyway, may i know if it will work (the FLATTEN command) in the drawing with a 2d drawings only? I mean a workspace are composed of 3d and 2d, now what i want to know is that, if flatten will work on it, because i think that is the issue. flattening the 3d drawings together with that 2d even when i am choosing only the 3d drawings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 How about posting a copy of your drawing and we'll take a look at it. FLATTEN Flatten creates a 2D representation of selected objects and projects selected objects on to the current viewing plane, forcing object elevations and thickness to 0. Other options for creating 2D geometry from 3D objects include: SECTIONPLANE FLATSHOT SOLPROF SOLDRAW/SOLVIEW VIEWBASE (AutoCAD 2012 and higher) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
