Hi!

We have a project where we have recieved a dwg file that is 3D.
There are a lot of corners and stuff on the building, and it`s a bit difficult to get the elevations as we want them with the view directions that AutoCad has.
Is there a way to get these elevation views to 2D?
We normally use Revit in our projects, but drawing the hole building in Revit just to get this to work will be at bit too time consuming...

Best Regards
Henning

AutoCAD has no restrictions on possible view direction.
To view exactly on a face, it may be easiest to create a UCS on the face and then issue the Plan command.
