OFFSET WITH A HEIGHT

Anonymous — Thu, 03 Aug 2017 06:07:19 GMT

Hi Guys

Does anyone know how to offset a line but also give the new line a height offset??

Preferably working in plan view. at the moment I am using properties tab and changing manually (very slow and also a real pain as without ID'ing the end of each line, don't know which end of line is start or end z value which is also another nuisance.

Cheers

Hello

Welcome to the Autodesk / AutoCAD Forums !

1) Not sure to follow / understand you !?

2) Maybe you could try the 3DARRAY command with 1 column or with 1 row ?

offset the line first, turn it into a polyline using pedit, go to the properties and change the elevation.

if you want it as a line again, explode the polyline back to a line again.
