Now - as the roof is complex and funny, I did some 3d cutaways from different heights. Is there a way I can show the cutaway lines on 2d? <BR /> Tried 3d export from 3d, but when importing the dwg file i got all kinds of lines but not the right ones.</T></DIV> Tue, 23 May 2023 12:44:15 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/3d-cutaway-plane-to-2d/m-p/115838#M61113 Anonymous 2023-05-23T12:44:15Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/3d-cutaway-plane-to-2d/m-p/115839#M61114 tiphia:<BR /> <BR /> Short answer: in the 3D Window, select the Marquee Tool, flat marquee option, select the area around the area and copy.
