plot a 3d view

[Anonymous]

model space is in 3d conceptual but shows as a 2d image in layout, how do I print a 3d version please.

First you need to set your viewport to match your modelspace, right? Enter your viewport and start SHADEMODE command to pick a setting that matches your modelspace. I'll assume your UCS is already rotated but if not do so in the viewport as well with UCS command.

Sorry for the delay, been on hols, In paper view the viewport does match the model space, not sure what you mean about UCS though. How do you enter model space?, if you mean plot then shaded is greyed out. Sorry for sounding bewildered but as you can guess I am new to MEP.

double-click inside a viewport to "enter it": this is basic AutoCAD, not unqiue to MEP.
