Benson Shaw Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Try changing to Top/Plan (not Top) View. This may align the view of the 3d items with their 2d counterparts, but will not modify or delete any objects. Or do you want to convert the 3d objects to 2d? Set the view (Top, Front, etc) to a view which shows the 3d object in the way you want to view it as a 2d object. Select object(s) then Menu>Modify>Convert>Convert to Lines (or other 2d conversion). But this is permanent - converted objects do not retain any memory or history of their former condition. Some of the converted elements in an object may be stacks of lines. Or maybe the 3d objects are on separate layers from the 2d objects. Set layer visibility to Active Only and make a 2d layer active. Or set layer visibility to Show Others, but set the 3d layers to invisible in the Layer visibility check list. Or describe a bit more what you are trying to do. -B Quote Link to comment
