How can I export 2D Plan view for my 3D Object?
I need to export part file as a drawing , How do I export from 3D to 2D; and what are the available formats?
Thanks
if in AutoCAD you can use the “FLATTEN” command to flatten the 3D object to 2D and then export it to your chose location
Well what program are you using?
if you are asking about a mechanical package such as solidworks or Inventor;
you can easily export your work drawing by converting the 3D object into a drawing
Click file->New->Drawing->Place your view
Place your Side view, plan and elevation
Put in your dimensions
and save your file
you can also export as PDF as required
even a more neat feature is that you can export as a 3D PDF where the user can actually fly around your object looking at it from all directions without even having to install any other tool other than A standard PDF viewer
My two default programs are AutoCAD and SketchUp. I’ve found SketchUp flattens most 3D models into usable 2D formats very effectively. It’s all a matter of angling the view of the 3D model and then using the Export command to export a 2D vector file format of the view (.dwg, .dxf, and various raster image formats).
