Drawing 3d Polylines from points not working...

I have points in a 2012 C3D drawing and I am looking to draw 3d polylines from point to point.  Ultimately I am wanting to generate breaklines for a surface from a topo.  I was able to do this a few months ago and now no matter what I try nothing seems to work.  When use the 3P command the Z Vertex is 0.  All of the points in the drawing have elevations. I tried drawing a feature line however, the beginning elevation is saying 0.  Its as if these lines do not recognize my points as having elevations.  If anyone has a solution it would be greatly appreciated...

Check your OSNAPZ value.

 

0 = Osnap uses the Z-value of the specified point

1 = Osnap substitutes the Z-value of the specified point with the elevation (ELEV) set for the current UCS

Have you checked the point style that is applied to those points to see if the Z is being flattened?

Yes it is, click on any point, right click go to point group settings, pull the tab down right of the style, click edit current, go to the 3d geometry then you can select to flatten points to an elevation or use the point elevation.

In other words, not commands, but the point style itself.
