elevation Problem

Hello

I am a 3D freelancer,i got a new project drawn using autocad 2009,when i used the top view the lines,polylines,etc,,,,,look as if the are connected with each other,but when i changed the view using orbit , the lines look very bad ,

the lines have a lot of elevations,they are not of the same level.i think that the person draw it in wrong way.i cant make a region or boundary!

how can i make all lines in same level ?

with lot of thanks

So you want all the lines at Z0? If so, use the Express Tools FLATTEN command.

No,not working

Ok, please be more specific. What's not working? The command?

When you type FLATTEN does it say "Unknown Command"? If so, you need to load the Express Tools from your installation disk.

Or

Does the FLATTEN command initiate but the lines don't go to Z0? If so, there are other options.

the FLATTEN command initiate but the lines don't go to Z0:?

Ok, so tell me about this drawing. Are there Xref's attached? Are the lines contained inside blocks? The FLATTEN command will not work on lines contained in an xref or a block.

If the FLATTEN command is not working, and there are no xrefs or blocks, try this lisp routine:

(defun c:flat (/ total-nabor)

(vl-load-com)

(if

(setq total-nabor (ssget "x" '((410 . "model"))))

(progn

(setq total-nabor

(mapcar 'vlax-ename->vla-object

(mapcar 'cadr

(ssnamex total-nabor)))

)

(foreach i '(1e99 -1e99)

(mapcar (function (lambda (x)

(vla-move x

(vlax-3d-point (list 0 0 0))

(vlax-3d-point (list 0 0 i)))

)) total-nabor )))

)

(princ)

)

not working! I load the lsp but the lines still have a lot of elev ,how can i sent this file,i try the attachment tools and its not working

Here's another option you can try:

Procedure: (Bold text should be typed into the command line)

Command: MOVE

Select objects: (Window select all objects you want to flatten)

Specify base point or [Displacement] : 0,0,0

Specify second point or : 0,0,1E99

Command: MOVE

Select objects: P

Specify base point or [Displacement] : 0,0,0

Specify second point or : 0,0,-1E99

If the above option does not work, then I don't know what else to suggest. You will need to upload the file here. There is a file size restriction though, so your file will need to be less than 250kb. Try using the ETRANSMIT command to zip your CAD file and see if you can get it under 250kb. You may need to delete some things from your file to get the size down, so be sure to Purge and Audit the file to remove any unnecessary junk and fix any errors that may exist. You may also need to WBLOCK the drawing out to a new file before running ETRANSMIT.

Or, since you now have 10 posts, you could upload your file to a hosting site like Rapidshare, and then post a link to the download here.

select all the drawings using "CTRL + A" then "CTRL +1" so show properties table then look in the properties table Geometry/Vertex Y.. change the value of vertex Y to 0(zero), and also the Elevation, change it to 0 and in General, the Thickness should also be 0

i hope this works.

the last option from cad work but still need more,please see attachment

Your drawing was created using the educational version of Autocad, so are you a student or a 3D freelancer as you mentioned in your initial post?

3D freelancer,does the version matter for this problem?

No, it doesn't matter for this problem, but it does matter for me. The free educational version is for students to use while taking classes to learn the program, not for professional, commercial use. I'm sorry, but I can no longer assist you with this issue. Good luck to you.

Anyway thanks for replies

You have an assortment of problems with that drawing my friend. There are polylines that in the "top" view that look like lines, but if you switch to a "front" view are actually rectangles with a -z depth. You have lines with thickness and dimensions that are all over the place. It's going to be difficult to fix this.

I have to ask, why are you using an educational product for freelance commercial work?

I think a better question would be how someone can offer a freelance drafting service when they don't know how to properly use the software they have. You're only setting yourself up for failure when you do that.

Adds a new dimension to OJT, doesn't it?
