flattening lines 3d

[Nic87]

Good morning to all

I have developed a design in autocad architectures 2013 and for some reason some lines of the model are in 3d (in fact if I change view and put in front instead of seeing a single line I see more lines one above the other) and this involves confusion in the printing phase and impossibility to extrude plants and prospects in sketchup.

Does anyone know how to flatten the whole design at once without having to do it again?

try using the flatten command directly (it is in the express tools) or the zeta command you find here:http://www.emicad.it/emicad/simbolicad/lisp/index.asp.

p.s.
Sometimes it is enough to directly assign the z=0 coordinate from the control panel.

I tried to put z=0 but I always see multiple lines with front view

The flatten nn command I understand where to find it can you explain better?

I tried the zeta command but it doesn't solve my problem

When installing autocad, among the options, there is also the possibility to install the so-called express tools.
are commands not officially supported by autodesk but it still provides you because now very widespread.
you can probably install them even in a second time.

However if you cannot flatten the design (usually zeta is more efficient than flatten and therefore I doubt that the flatten will solve the problem) you should try to explode the parts you cannot flatten and then reapply the command to flatten.
If you have to keep certain associations (maybe you don't want to explode a block etc.) maybe it should explode, flatten it and revert it into blockage. I know we have to lose some time, but the alternative is redesigning.

Then I realized the problem.. .
basically after selecting a line with the problem I noticed in the property window that there are two fields dedicated to the line thickness one is a general. Well, the general one is at 1.
If they select all the design that field nn is proposed to me and so I cannot change it.

Is there a way to bring all drawing to thickness 0?
is it possible to convert a spline to normal online?

Is there a command to select only lines?

 

[Legs]

there are various ways to select only lines.
Since you have to directly change a parameter from the properties it can be worth using the selection of lines that belong to the selection of the whole design.
in practice select everything, open the property panel (if you have not already done it) and select at the top of the line and then change the thickness property by bringing it to 0.
otherwise you can use the quick selection command (quickselect) and select all lines.
I hope that's just the problem.
Unfortunately when you get drawings made this way you often struggle to fix them especially when those who created them used maybe some plug-ins you don't have. But with a little patience and attempts you always get to settle.

thanks to the help, I solved precisely changing the thickness.. .

other question, is it possible to transform splines into lines?

 

[Legs]

Sure. just edit the spline and select the p. option you will be required a number related to the precision of the subdivision.
so the spline became a polyline of lines and arches. edit polylinea and transform the arches into lines. Now explode.
