Simplify Production Prep in Autodesk® Inventor® with the C3DT Flatten App.

Working with in-place components, reused parts, or Frame Generator models in Inventor? When it’s time to shift from design to production, combining all these elements into a clean, production-ready assembly can be frustrating.

The C3DT Flatten App solves that—fast.

Your Streamlined Workflow, Without the Hassle

C3DT Flatten helps you restructure complex assemblies into simplified, top-level assemblies—without changing your original design. It keeps adaptivity intact while removing constraints, making your models lighter and easier to manage in both production and BIM workflows like Autodesk® Revit®.

Perfect for Production-Ready Projects or Revit-Ready Projects

Once your design is approved and only minimal changes remain, C3DT Flatten lets you generate clean assemblies tailored for:

1. Manufacturing: With all parts grounded and relationships removed.
2. Revit Integration: With all parts placed at the top level, it's easy to see what goes where in Revit—no buried subassemblies or hidden relationships.

Key Features

• Flatten Assy All:
  Create a new assembly with all models grounded at the top level.
  Automatically removes all constraints for a clean production file.

• Flatten Assy Exclude:
  Choose which subassemblies to exclude from flattening.
  Keep their structure and constraints exactly as-is.

• Flatten Assy Frame:
  Flatten only Frame Generator models.
  All other components stay in their original structure.

• Flatten Assy 1st Level:
  Flatten only the first level.
  Lower-level assemblies remain structured.

• Predefine settings to create browser folders after flatten:
  Add names that a part contains to add it to a specific folder.
  Separate multiple names by “;” to add multiple names.

Why Use C3DT Flatten?

• No need to plan production subassemblies during the design phase.
• Maintain full design adaptivity and flexibility.
• Export simplified, clean assemblies that are easier to manage inside Revit.
• Streamline communication between design and BIM teams.
