Hello. It’s great to see you working on this command. I’ve been waiting for something like this for a long time.
I just tested the command in Rhino 9 WIP.
This is how the original layout looks:
This is what I obtained from the command:
I have a few remarks:
-
Detail clipping planes are ignored. The entire model is shown on the flattened layout, instead of only the clipped geometry.
-
The Detail Display Mode is ignored. I set it to Technical and expected a technical line drawing (as displayed in Technical mode). Instead, the output contains Closed Solid Polysurfaces rather than lines and dashed lines.
-
Only one detail is exported. A layout typically contains many details showing the construction from different views/perspectives/cross-sections, but only a single detail is included in the export.
-
Clipping to the detail boundary is ignored. It’s possible to clip the view using the detail border, but the new command doesn’t respect that.
-
I think this command will mainly be used to create technical drawings, so the output should be similar to Make2D -but it should also preserve the Detail setup and any objects placed in Layout space. The output I would expect would look like the example below (I prepared it “by hand” using the Make2D command).
Below are the files I used for testing.
