Projections and flattened views
While the
SECTIONPLANE
command creates sections, the next command creates
projections, or flattened views.
The FLATSHOT command
The
FLATSHOT
command (no alias) creates a 2D representation of all 3D objects in
the drawing by projecting all edges onto a plane perpendicular to the viewing direc-
tion. It can be applied to solids, surfaces, meshes, and regions.
First, we must set the viewing direction. Upon calling the command, a dialog box is
displayed, including three areas and an option:
•
Destination
: This area is similar to the same area as the
SECTIONPLANEBLOCK
command and specifies whether the view is in-
serted in the drawing as a new block, it replaces an existing block, or is
exported as a DWG or DXF file
•
Foreground lines
: This area allows you to specify the color and linetype
for visible edges in the projected view
•
Obscured lines
: This area allows you to specify whether hidden edges
are represented in the projected view and, in affirmative case, their colors
and line-types
