Bug ID: 158478
Summary: Ability to convert back from 3D to 2D
Product: LibreOffice
Version: Inherited From OOo
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Impress
Assignee: [email protected]

One can take a 2D shape and convert it into a 3D object by extrusion over a
short distance into a Z-axis (using the Context Menu, Covert > To 3D for
example). This is great; but - why can't we convert back?
This has two levels of difficult:
1. Shapes which were originally 2D: For those, one can keep the original 2D
data and just restore it - discarding the extrusion info and the 3D
orientation. This should be rather easy to implement, although it might require
storing the shape information differently, so potentially an ODF change (or
maybe not, I can't say).
2. Any shape: Here, one could offer to project the shape onto the plane of the
canvas, flattening it. The color or other aspects of the faces and edges could
be made to depend on the angle, distance etc. - or it could be set more
arbitrarily.
