# FLATSHOT Command [GstarCAD 2027](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2027/Index.md) → [Commands](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2027/Commands/(Commands).md) **Function Description:** This command allows you to create a 2D representation of all 3D objects based on the current view. The edges of all 3D solids, surfaces, and meshes are projected line-of-sight onto a plane parallel to the viewing plane. The 2D representations of these edges are inserted as a block on the *XY* plane of the UCS. This block can be exploded for additional changes. The [FlatShot dialog box](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2027/Commands/FlatShot%20Dialog%20Box.md) is displayed.  **Command Access:** > **Icon:**  > **Menu:** / > **Ribbon:** 3D > Section > Flatshot > **Toolbar:** / > **Command:** FLATSHOT > **Alias:** / **Command Prompts: /** --- **Related References：** - [Commands about Creating and Modifying Flattened Views (GstarCAD 2026)](../../2026/Commands/00%20Command%20Groups/Commands%20about%20Creating%20and%20Modifying%20Flattened%20Views.md) **Related Tasks：** - [To Create a Flattened View of a 3D Model (GstarCAD 2026)](../../2026/Commands/01%20Procedures/To%20Create%20a%20Flattened%20View%20of%20a%203D%20Model.md) --- [Original help](https://www.gstarcad.net/help/GstarCAD_2027_en-US/detail/commandReferences/FLATSHOT.html) · © Gstarsoft Co., Ltd.
