I'm currently taking a series of section cuts through a complex object. What I've been doing is setting up a plane to cut the object with and using boolean difference then deleting the portion of the section that I don't need.

I then align the object to a known view (in my case TOP) and TRACE over the solids to get the 2d representation of the image in that view. Then using the align command, I make sure all of the lines / curves are on the same plane before exporting to autocad.


Is there any way to do this better? Is there a way to take solids that have no lines / curves defining their shapes and somehow remake all of the curves so that I could flatten them with align into a 2d view?

This would seriously save me 10 hours of work if this is somehow possible.

Many thanks in advance,

Rado
