Flatshot command
in 3D Modeling
I received a 3D model from an industrial plant in a STEP-file. I was able to convert it to a dwg-file. This file size is +/- 180 MB. Now I have to make some 2D views for my colleagues to work on. I use the flatshot command, but nothing happens, or sometimes the screen freezes. When I look in the tast manager, the memory usage is 90% of my 32 GB installed memory. If the flatshot-command is done, nothing is shown on the screen.
I used the flatshot command on smaller drawing and it worked fine.
Could it be that the file is too large to handle in the flatshot command?

Hi PiCo
You could try to reduce the task by turning off some layers depicting unnecessary detail.
I assume the drawing either has layers in tact or you could allocate them to suit ...walls only to yield a plan view etc.

Hey, Thanks for the reply. I'll give it a try.0

How about trying to make paperspace views with viewbase command then making sections in paperspace.
Possibly then exporting them to modelspace. the sections get better than flatshot.0 -
WOW, quite the situation. Looks like the building is about 1/4 to 1/2 an acre. You're going to need to have the model accommodate your hardware situation. Divide the model up into smaller chunks (Rooms, Dept's, levels) and shoot it 1:1. Or you can scale the model down, shoot it, scale Flat shot 2D up. I had a similar problem with my 7th Gen I7. Once I got a 10th Gen I9, problem solved.0

Hello all. I solved the problem by putting some extra RAM in my PC. I have now 64 GB. It's better, but not ideal.0
