How can I generate a flat ortho view

[pedro.pessineUB6WS]

Hi.

I`m generating an orthographic view, but when I change the model space, the pipe center line is on another level than the pipes.

How can I create an ortho view that is flat?

Thanks

I have the same problem. The thing is that the centerlines are always going to be on the level of the pipes in the model space. But in Paperspace you should see the Ortho in 2D. If you want to send the Model to a customer as DWG then I suggest you export the layout to Autocad (EXPORTLAYOUT) which will create a 2D drawing in model space for you

Dear @pedro.pessineUB6WS ,

I have 2 questions:

1. what is the Plant 3D Model "Pessa" supposed to represent?
Infinite lengths of DN15 pipe.

2. what was shown to you in your Plant 3D training on this topic?

Hi H.eger.

Thanks for replying.

Attached are 2 files. They are just an example. "Pessa" is a 3D pipeline, and "Pessa ortho", is the orthographic view of the first file.

In my training, nothing was mentioned regarding work in the ortho model space.

Dear @pedro.pessineUB6WS ,

And what exactly is your problem?
Enclosed is an excerpt from your Pessa ortho drawing

The problem is not in the Layout, What I understand is that he is working in ModelSpace which he should not do. And there you will see the Centerline on the correct elevation instead of on the pipes center height of elevation.

He will need to export the layout to AutoCAD to have a model space created from Ortho that is actually a 2D drawing in Modelspace.
