offset 3d polyline

[Acmellouddine]

Hi everyone,
It's nice to see you again..
I've just realized that I cannot offset the 3D polyline, why it's happen?

[Exxit]

Acmellouddine,

Yes, you can not offset a 3D-polyline, because 3D has one axis to much .

You can make a detour: Copy the 3D-P -> "flatten" -> offset into the direction you need -> join the polyline.
BUT you have to use Lisptools to do that.
