3D Polyline offset?

[smiller352220]

The question in the office today is "Can you offset a 3D Polyline?"

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance....

I'm running 2002 so to my knowledge NO in standard AutoCAD but if you have LDD (Land Development Desktop) you can go to the "Terrain" pulldown menu and under "3Dpolylines" there's a command called "Create curb".

How about in Carlson Survey?........Thats what the guys are using and the survey crew only shot the front of curb and they want to use the linework and offset to show back of curb......
