When creating a LINE OFFSET using the LINES PANEL, how is the direction of the offset determined? If the line is a planar curve, then it would make sense that it would stay on that same plane. If the line is straight, or non-planar, then the direction of offset seems arbitrary.
Also, if the original line is on a surface, is there a way to force the offset line to fall on the same surface?
Thanks for your help clearing this up.
