  A little work with the scale function will flatten almost any object
you can make into a near 2d object. A box can even be specified as
a 2d object if your interested.

box {<-1,-1,0>,<1,1,0>}

A cone can be scale near flat like so

cone{<0,0,0>,1,<0,1,0>,0 scale <1,1,.001>}

  Other objects can be specified in a similar fashion to achieve
your "2D" objects.

  I am not saying that using the scale function is the perfect solution
but it does come close enough for the kind of work I do :)
