help - I need to convert 3D arcs to 3D polylines

Maybe there is a feature line option to do this, but I cannot find this.

I have a site that was created by others - it has 3d arcs in it and I need to convert these to 3d polylines.

I don't see a need to create break lines. As long as the points are at the ends of the arcs, the featurlines will pick up the elevations from the surface. Once the featurelines are created, the cogo points can go away and the featurelines can be used as breaklines or whatever.

 

PS this can be done with plain Autocad points as well using the Divide command. I don't know if Divide will work on non-planar arcs though. Too it would require applying the command to each arc whereas the cogo point tools could get them all at once (I think).
