Need a tool for creating 2d outlines for complex 2d drawings

[SLW210]

Please share some examples where the SHRINKWRAP is failing in Civil or Architecture, maybe a solution can  be found.

 

EGBOUNDARY sounds like a great solution for you, hopefully it's a good enough replacement for others looking to replace TotalBoundary and SuperBoundary.

Here’s example from a different drawing where I tested both approaches.

In this case, the shrinkwrap command wasn’t able to generate a boundary at all and returned a “failed to create shrinkwrap” message for this selection.

 

Using the same input, I tried an alternative approach i.e. EGBoundary and was able to generate a clean, continuous outer boundary for the full shape.

Sharing the comparison and .dwg file itself here.

 

From what I’ve tested so far, the settings command seems to give a bit more control over things like automatic and manual tolerance handling as well as output customization (layer, color, etc.), which probably helps in these more complex cases.

I’m still exploring it, but that flexibility seems to make a difference compared to the standard commands.

For Clarification:-

I am using AutoCAD Architecture 2026 and EGBOUNDARY for AutoCAD listed on their website.
