I’m having issues getting my geometries to project properly onto the specified rectangle (laser bed). They keep standing up, I’ve tried to set up a plane but to no avail. I assume I’m missing something simple to make them lay down, any help would be greatly appreciated! I also think I also need to convert them to 2D? Or can I flatten them, bake them, and then make them 2D?

you should modify the plane.

is it also possible to cut the intersecting points inside grasshopper? I’ve been doing it manually by baking the geometry and using the split command.
I would also like to flatten the horizontal elements but they have varying thicknesses. Is there a good way to flatten these elements into uniform thicknesses?
thank you for your help!
if you want the flat horizontal elements, you should make sure the original curve is planar.
yes ,you can use the Solid Difference.But you should test your model .Sometimes the result is invalid Brep.
Sorry to keep bothering you with questions, but I attempted to use the solid difference command both ways and the intersections do not appear to be picking up? I’m also not entirely understanding how to convert the horizontal elements to planar curves. Would that be removing the loft command or planarizing it?
How would I go about moving that back into the output for Nesting then as well? (Last Picture)
Thank you again for all the help!
