When I create a 2D drawing in Rhino 8 the result shows internal information (lines) which is not what I want. I checked all settings and hidden lines was not selected plus I checked the solid and it is a closed valid Poly surface? Am I missing something or is this a bug?
I cannot share the resulting 2D drawing for confidentiality reasons.
I really need this to work as I am producing drawings for a client.
Thanks, Rob.
Hi Rob - can you repeat what you are reporting in a simpler case?

I am running a “make 2D drawing” command and the result is 2D drawing showing the inside of my solid polysurface. The attached screenshot hopefully explains better the result I am ending up with, but not what I am looking for. Its as if one of the faces of my closed polysurface is transparent, except in my 3D shaded view it is not.
Hi Pascal, I have zoomed right in on the issue so as not to divulge confidential info. I have also deleted some content which is why it looks a little messy, but there should be enough info to show the issue.
You can see the hatched area is the surface that in the 2D result looks like it is transparent or missing when it should not be.
I am logging off, I hope to find a solution when I check back in the morning. Thank you for your time with my issue.
Hi Rob - so the problem is missing lines in the make 2d output, correct? We would need the file or a bit of it that shows the problem - you can send confidential files to tech@mcneel.com to my attention or upload to Rhino - Upload to Support if the file is large. Either way please include a link back to this topic in your comments.

Hi Pascal, I can unfortunately not share the problem part file, it has elements I need to keep confidential (I signed NDA). I have however solved the issue by removing the detail on the face (Detail = Logo, very organic with some lines that are close together-see below screenshot of the lines used to create detail). The Logo was extruded into the face 0.25mm using the following line types: Control Point Curve; Polyline; Circle, all joined into closed curves before extruding into the surface in question. Once extruded, I split the surface in question and extracted the front surface face from the extruded logo leaving me with an intrusion into the face 0.25mm deep of the logo. Then I joined the lot and arrived at a closed, solid result which I checked and was valid.
The work around will meet my needs. If I encounter this issue again doing something that is not so sensitive, I will share the post here and hopefully be of more assistance to you in analyzing the issue.
Thank you for your time with my enquiry, I really appreciate the team at Rhino.
