I am attempting to use Make2d on a clipping plane intersection and for some reason there is not output. I’m not sure why this might be happening in my file. Is there a setting I could change or something I am not seeing? Thank you so much for your help!

Hi Thomas,
If you use the ShowEdges command you can Zoom to the funky intersection.
Remove this condition and Make2D will function properly.
Use the command SelBadObjects to check.
Thanks so much! I see where the non-manifold edges are. What would be the best way to fix those edges? I’m not exactly sure what the best way to go about it is other then extracting the surfaces and trying to make new surfaces.
Ideally you could move this part up until it doesn’t create the non-manifold edges.
Depending on what you are using it for, you might be able to just Boolean difference it out.
I was able to fix the non-manifold edge by slightly moving the part up like you said. The object is now closed and non-manifold, but Make2d is still not working for some reason. Here is the updated file.

It was actually working the whole time. I missed it on the first look, move the clipping plane up in the Z direction to see the clipping plane results.
Thank you! I didn’t realize the clipping plane would hide it like that. Is there a way to have the 2D show the solid fill of the cut plane of the object? The part that is in red when the clipping plane is intersecting the object. Right now, it isn’t showing it and it is hard to see the intersection well as a result.
Currently you can use the layer to generate the hatch, or use Sectioning Tools from the package manager (type PackageManager in the command line)
