polyline vertices

[Eric Pellerin]

I am wondering when using the 3D polylines offset, why I am loosing some of
the vertices that made the original one... I did it 3 times and the vertices
that are not on the offset 3D polyline are not always the same...

Am I doing something wrong...

Do anybody know if there is a limit on the number of vertices for a
polyline...

As best I can work out, if you are offsetting an irregular shape then some
vertices are lost so the offset can be maintained. Otherwise your shape will
have overlapping lines that will be within the offset that you asked for.
Try smaller offsets and watch the shape change.

Where I am loosing the vertices is in the strait lines... in my curves I do
not have a problem...
