      yes, no vertical lines. i'm thinking of a chair, one needs the profile lines and the main visible ones, as long as they're not vertical.

      (though now you make me think it'd be fab having it flatten on the red or green plane too (!), for which case verticals are ok but not horizontals) 😲

        THE PLOT THICKENS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

        So simple. All we need is an option for Top, Front, or Right view.

        Some horizontals would be OK if they are perpendicular to the axis of choice.

        Nothing is worthless, it can always be used as a bad example.

            I will not slow your enthusiasm, but I think TIG has a plugin for it: CADup V1.2a. Whether it is suitable for the newer versions of SketchUp, don't know ...

              You are correct. http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=323%26amp;t=31895%26amp;hilit=Flatten

                ok thanks, i'll check it out, (had to be TIG! πŸ˜† )

                EDIT. actually i do know that script and it is very good, though it only works if you have workplane installed.

                  The WorkPlane plugin is really not required. All you need is a group named WorkPlane which contains a single face that defines the desired plane. Then you can comment out or delete line 51 "require WorkPlane.rb".

                    great, that's what i'll do then. makes it for a slightly faster job as well.

                    just as i was getting chaffed about the all new flatten plugin...the idea of the visible lines was a good one though!

                      Maybe I have an old version of Flatten To Plane but it seems to have a problem with embedded components.

                      Post a model,v2014, with a sample or two what you would want the plugin to flatten to visible lines only.

                        i was thinking of these situations (attached file). of course to view with hidden geometry on.

                        for a human figure, from 3000 edges we go up to 20000 when flat.
