Cad polyline turned upright - How to?

[awenger]

I drew an arch, turned it into a polyline solid and it is now laying flat on the ground. I know how to lift it off the ground, but can I rotate the arc up so that it is standing on it two ends (flip it up?). This would make like an arch to walk under. Note: I have lifted the arch off the ground 12".


Thanks for any help,

Draw the arch in elevation instead of plan. If you want to rotate what you have already created I believe you must turn it into a symbol and then rotate. I do not believe you can rotate a psoid in the "z" axis but somebody may correct me on this

try drawing it in elevation?

[awenger]

Yes, That did it. Thanks a lot. I am trying to get the hang of these cad items.

Yes, you can redraw something in elevation, but you don't have to. I often run into this when doing letters in sketchup. When I create 3D letters in Sketchup, and import them, they come in "laying down". When you have a symbol, you can click the "Open Symbol" tool, (not the "Open" tool) and click on the Rotate section in either x, y, or z directions, and specify any degrees.
