Topic Title

I am trying to locate the center axis of the red members and need add a vertical 3DLine based on the members ZBase/Height. Right now the easiest way I know how to do this now is to draw a 3DLine in an elevation view with the correct height, then switch to ortho and then copy that 3Dline around. Does that make sense? I was hoping I could just drop a 3DLine in ortho view with my Zbase/height set. Is that possible? If not could we add that to the ol' wish list please?

Josh: Set the desired ZBase and ZHeight, Use the Base/Height option in 3d Lines and click twice at the desired location and the vertical 3d line is created.

A related wish, would be could we get an option in the 3D entity creation menus for inputting at the height between the zbase/height? Maybe call it Center Z?

Josh and Jim: attend my SoCal 3D seminar in January...I'll show you an easier way to draw a vertical 3D line
Reserve your seats in advance...only two per golf cart!

Ah yes, the offsite 3d seminar we've been discussing. I'm not sure why you think Southern California will have nicer weather than Michigan in January, especially this coming year - we are scheduled for our once a decade rain storm in 2017.

At any rate, I discovered the click-click trick several years ago, by accident. You can also use a short vertical polyline to accomplish the same thing and it's a bit easier to find.

I don't understand why the Michigan Tourism Board rejected my winter campaing slogans; "Pure Michigan, anywhere but here" and "Michigan, a good place to be from"
