2D Sketch Render a Floor Plan in AC11

Anonymous
Not applicable
Is there a quick way to sketch render a floor plan in AC11? I have found a thread from 2003 describing a way to do this but it involves a plotter (which I don't have) and it is for V.8 & 9. Plus it looked like it would take a long time. Just looking for a quick fix in archicad only - not other programs.

Apparantly the 'oldest trick' I learned long ago has been lost from knowledge.

Step 1: export your floor plan to DWG.
Step 2: open that DWG as an object.
Step 3: save the object.
Step 4: place object in floor plan.
Step 5: view object in parallel top down 3d view
Step 6: make sketch render.

Make sure that air perspective is at 0, or you won't see anything.

Pretty sure I found this on the forum 12 years ago.
