Fotman Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Use the SOLPROF command 1. Go to layout, make a model view window, do not bother about scale 2. Set the view as you like eg. top, left ... 3. Type SOLPROF at the command line while you are INSIDE the model window 4. Select ALL objects, type yes or no to the other options... 5. Press Enter 6. Go to model , there is a flatten version of your 3d objects in a new layer... You can also use the FLATTEN command but it destroys your 3d object Have fun!

neko Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 if you are using 2007/2008 there are better tools than SOLPROF try any of the three (depending on your needs) 1.) extract edges (XEDGES) 2.) flatshot (FLATSHOT) 3.) live section (SECTIONPLANE) i've yet to really come to grips with the difference between 1.) and 2.) and live section can be a little fussy, but works well.

Mikho Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 If you need real working drawings you should not use a 3d model. You have to draw 2d from scratch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
