Offset 3D Polyline

Function

This command allows you to offset a 3D polyline entity in both the horizontal and vertical directions. There are three offset methods. The Interval method applies one horizontal and one vertical offset to all the vertices of the polyline. The Constant method has a horizontal offset and sets the elevation of the polyline to one constant elevation. The Variable method allows you to specify each horizontal and vertical offset individually either by polyline segment or for each point. The vertical offset can be specified by actual vertical distance, percent slope or slope ratio.
