3DPOLY command

Icon:

Alias: 3P

Description

Creates a single 3D polyline entity with multiple line segments by specifying the start and end point of each segment. Options allow you to undo and close the geometry.

Methods to create a 3D polyline

This command has 3 methods to begin creating a 3D polyline:

Start of polyline
Last point
Follow

You can continue adding unlimited segments until you press Enter to end the command.

Start of polyline: Begin creating a 3D polyline by specifying a start point then:
Set next point: Specify the next vertex of the polyline.; Additional options: [Close/Undo]
Last point: Begin creating a 3D polyline from the last point picked then:
Next point: Specify the next vertex of the polyline.; Additional options: [Close/Undo]
Follow: Begin creating a 3D polyline from the last drawn arc or line segment, following its angle, then:
Next point: Specify the length of the segment. Picking a point only determines the length since the angle follows the last segment.; Additional options: [Close/Undo]

Options within the 3DPOLY command

After you begin creating a 3D polyline, the following options may be available:

Undo: Undo the last 3D polyline segment and continue drawing from its previous start point.
Close: Automatically draw a 3D polyline segment from the end point of the last segment to the start point of the first segment. This ends the command.
