Lines are not coplanar

Tried an area command on the attached drawing but on 3rd pickpoint i get the message 'Lines are not coplanar' - this issue is only whilst using the drawing in autocad LT 2015 (working fine in LT 2014) and therefore assume that some setting in LT 2015 needs changing?

 

Any help will be appreciated.

 

Many thanks,

 

Daryl

Your plan is too far away from 0,0,0, the center of the AutoCAD universe.
The file would not work in 2013 or 2015 as you noted, 2014 managed to ignore the issue for some reason.

 

Works fine now: it's attached, moved close to 0,0,0, and I turned on and ZOOM EXTENTS to show you what else is in your file (you need to PURGE too).

Hi Dean,

 

Im having the same issue, and i found that your solution works, but i work with land divisions and need the coordinates far, far away from 0,0,0.

 

any other way around this?

 

thanks in advance.

HPORIGIN (and HPORIGNMODE) ought to do what you need. This can also be fixed by adjusting the position of the UCS in relation to your project: if modelspace needs UCS set to World for whatever reason, you can change the UCS in the viewport which does not affect the model UCS and it regenerated correctly.

Hi Dean, tried both of those options but no dice.
Changing the ucs or the hatch pattern origin doesn’t fix the problem.
Can pick two points no problem, 3rd one wont select unless its far away from the first 2 (unreasonably far) and says lines are coplanar, even when picking empty space, nothing has z values.

I'd love to see a portion of your DWG file with the problem in place if you can post it here. Otherwise I suspect this old limitation is not fixable.

Hi Dean,

 

sample of the file with xrefs bound in.

 

I know the workaround for the problem is to use polylines to generate area's, but alot of our jobs then end up going to our construction manager who views them in trueview where the problem remains.

 

would love a practical solution.

 

cheers,

Your workaround is the corect process to use. And I don't use DTV, sorry.

 

I'm having a hard time locating the problem in your file...

that didn't work for me, but rather setting DWGUNITS to meters

What @tomislav.vargek said seems to be the issue on later versions.

Exactly I am having the same problem, which the third point can not be selected, and  I cannot move the whole drawing back to 0,0. / ucs

Please kindly help
