Creates a two-dimensional view from the selected 3D elements. The selection of the 3D elements is done by job selection or object selection.
When you call the command, the Dialog box Projects is displayed. Here you can select the objects you want to project. You will find further information on this in the section Select project.
After selecting a job, partial job, or individual parts by object selection, the following dialog box appears where you can make additional settings for the projection.
Dialog box Projection 3D model
db_ath_c3d_project
