3DPOLY command
Creates a 3D polyline.

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.

- Start
- Next
- Next
- End
Method
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.
Note: 3D polylines with assigned linetypes draw with an uninterrupted pattern. To make linetypes visible for 3D polylines, set LINETYPE3DPLINE system variable to 1.
Options within the command
- Start of polyline
- Begins creating a 3D polyline by specifying a start point then specify next point.
- Last point
- Begins creating a 3D polyline from the last point picked then specify next point.
- Follow
- Begins creating a 3D polyline from the last drawn arc or line segment, following its angle, then specify next point.
- Start
- Next
- Next
- Last Drawn Segment
- Follow
- End
- Next point
- Specifies the next vertex of the polyline.
For the Follow option, specifies the length of the segment. Picking a point only determines the length since the angle follows the last segment.
- Undo
- Undoes the last 3D polyline segment and continue drawing from its previous start point.
- Close
- Automatically draws a 3D polyline segment from the end point of the last segment to the start point of the first segment. This ends the command.
