Moving multiple elements into one plane

Hrvoje- — Mon, 22 Mar 2021 20:16:21 GMT

Hi!

I have 24 elements, each in its plane but parallel to the X-Y plane. Is there a command to move at once all these elements into the X-Y plane?

The file with these elements is attached to this post.

Thank you for the help!

Sorry I don't know of an Easy way to do this but I hope this helps. Be aware I rotated them 90 degrees. They should all be in the same plane Now. Years ago I wrote this program to bring things down to the XY plane in the world coordinate system. So I rotated them to line up with the WCS. and then set them to a Z of 0. See Attached

That sounds like exactly what the FLATTEN Express Tool is made for.

Thank you for your engagement. I see your solution works fine, but I still do not know how to do that. FLATTEN tool did it for me, so I have the solution.
