Sketch 2D allows parts to be created on a two dimensional plane. These kind of parts can have either no rotation or 180° rotation on bends. In other words, parts made in this designer will be flat, two dimensional parts. Parts can be designed by clicking directly on the part display and drawing out each length and/or by giving the straight length and angle values in the design panel.
