Make2D is just unusable

missing too many lines, output is terrible most of the times even for simple geometry.

for complicated cases it is absolutely unusable.

how come after years and years of development one cannot use such essential tool?
i want to ask directly if you have plan to make it usable or leave it as it is? can we expect substantional improvements in forseeable future?

simple cut of geometry result in total mess with make2d.

make2d result:

this is just an example. i am trying to make exports from bridge model and i am really not able to do it properly. i cant describe my frustration. i would be ok with maybe couple of flaws but this is just complete nonsense.

Hi Ivan -

I see 17 changes to Make2D that are implemented in Rhino 8 in YouTrack.

After years and years of development, the code changes based on failure examples that are provided.

You could use Grasshopper to slice the object and merge the sum of the shapes.

Tried to make a table in the least blocks… :wink:

Slice it and sends all the shapes to 0,0,0 to merge them into a flat shape.

Where the breps merge is where you send your geometries.
