X, y, z

Is it possible to move lines from differnt heights on the Z to "0"?

 

I am trying to use Architects drawings that have multibale line that look to intersect on looking from the top. but when you view them the front or side they are on different heights.

 

When I draw lines that don't start/end touching a line drawing by the Arch they are on the "0" height on the Z.

 

Not sure what they used to draw these originaly.

 

Using Arch lines as reference to draw detail is not working very well, its taking way to lang to do anything.

 

See Attached

 

Use the view to choose between front, top and Isometric.

 

Any help would be great!

 

Thanks

Matt

If you have Express extension installed may give a try to FLATTEN command.

Options for flattening geometry.

I have tried FLATTEN and it does not seam to work. I did a select all and when through the properties and set the Z to 0" and that seam to work for the time being.

That is how I would probably do it, that or with the CHANGE command > make your selection >PROPERTIES > ELEVATION> 0 >>

 

You'd best take a look at your OPTIONS> Drafting tab and see how your OSNAP OPTIONS are set too. Adjust to suit your needs.

Try creating a button using the Flatten All Macro. Works pretty good in most situations and is much better than Flatten. There are many LISP routines around that work pretty good, also.
