trmurphy Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 hi i have a 3d model of some unistrut that i have to attach to a 2d drawing to call up some details. is it possible to just display outer lines when in plan in a 2d layout? because of the shape of the strut the multiple lines show up as one thick line on the drawings and they look terrible. any help much appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 One option would be to use a 3DHidden visual style. Another option would be to extract a 2D view of the 3D object. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 An example of a layout containing two viewports. The top one utilizes a 2Dwireframe visual style while the bottom one utilizes a Hidden visual style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trmurphy Posted August 8, 2013 Author Share Posted August 8, 2013 thanks for the reply I tried the visual style but comes out a bit cartoony at the scale i'm at. also trying flatshot command but that dosen't see the structural members only brackets that i created as blocks any other ideas?
