Menu : CURVE

Command: Change:Dimension

Shortcut : None

This command changes the dimensionality of the target curve or curve set, from 2D to 3D or vice versa. You will be asked for the projection direction. For curves already drawn in a projection set this is the projection set direction. In general the projection direction should be chosen so that the resultant 3D curves will be correctly oriented.

If the target is a curve set the set is automatically changed to a 3D curve set.

An example of the application of this command can be found when creating a skinned surface. The command SURFACEÞDesign:Skin requires 3D section curves. You may design the section curves first in 2D, then use this command to change them to 3D, and finally position them for skinning.
