      Description
      Builds a top, front and side projection from a model and arranges them onto a single plane for easy dimensioning and printing. The current version of the plugin only builds the projection from edges, not on groups/components. This means that groups need to be exploded before a projection can be built. Typically, I use my "Recursive Explode" plugin which I also uploaded to explode all groups and subgroups before creating a projection.

      Installation
      The zip file attatched should be unzipped into the plugins directory

      How to Use
      Simply select something, and then choose the Tools > Build Projection menu option.

      Cheers,
      Dave

        Is this different or better than TIG's Flatten to plane?

            Thanks.. but are you trying to get closer to RHINO MAKE 2D command??

            If you work a litle bit more, you gone win on this. I which you could add choose layers when projection are done, because it is very dificult to diference VIEW LINES from a CUT Line. And try to get better performance, because i try it on a small example and it took like 1 minuto do complete. (and i have a great machine workstation and SU 2015 x64bits)

            Thanks
