Constructing 3D PolyLines

A 3D PolyLine is a linear drawing entity that consists of two or more connected line segments for which you specify 3D coordinates for each segment start and end point.

To construct 3D PolyLines:

  1. Click Draw > 3D PolyLine (or type PolyLine3D).
  2. In the graphics area, specify the start point for the first line segment of the 3D PolyLine or enter a start point in 3D coordinates.
  3. Specify the segment endpoint in 3D coordinates.
  4. Continue to specify additional vertices of the 3D PolyLine in 3D coordinates or specify an option:
    • Undo. Undoes a previous segment.
    • Close. Closes the 3D PolyLine and ends the command.
  5. Press Enter.

  You can specify the Undo option to undo a previous segment.
