adroney Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 I am trying to show both a 2D and a 3D object in a viewport. The 3D object is on top of the 2D object in front view when I create the viewport. In the viewport dialog box, the view is set to front and the project 2D objects box is checked. All I get is the 3D object though. Am I using the feature incorrectly? Quote Link to comment
Jonathan Pickup Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 propably not. You may find that the projected 2D object is also looking in front view. It will appear on the Z=0 line as a line.... In this situation (and for dimensions on 3D objects) i use the annotation area of viewports. Quote Link to comment
adroney Posted September 2, 2005 Author Share Posted September 2, 2005 Project 2D objects doesn't seem like it is very useful then. I will use annotations instead. Thank you Quote Link to comment
Travis Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Try turning Project 2D Objects off and on in Top/Plan View. You'll quickly see a big difference if you've been using hybrid objects/PIOs, and if you have both 2D and 3D objects in your drawing (per your example). Since 2D objects occupy "space" only from the Plan perspective, this is a useful checkbox to reveal/hide the 3D Objects that might be obscured by the 2D component(s). Good luck, Quote Link to comment
