Hey guys,
I'm quite new to C4d and I'm having problems extruding correctly polylines in a null object.
I've imported from autocad some polylines and I'm trying to extrude them. If I group them in a null object, select hierarchy, and I enter the movement of 220in, it doesn't seem the extrusion has the correct value. If I try to extrude each individual spline with the extrude nurbs set with the same value of 220in the extrusion is different. The extrusion I should get should be the same even if I use different methods, right?
Do you know why?

Hi could you please post a screen shot to understand your trouble?

thank for asking me.
Here are two screen shots. One is the extrusion of the null object imported from Autocad and the other one is the extrusion of a polyline copied from the null obj.
I don't understand why the null object has a negative value of 200in and the single polyline has the same movement but has a positive value on a different axis plus..... it looks different.

Hi
I'm not sure, but I think the problem stay on polyline format


Have you try to convert it into spline with make editable command?
Polyline is an interchange format for autocad but I don't know if it's full supported and works well in cinema....

Yes I've tried and it works fine but I lose the single polylines.
I guess is the only way....I thought there was something that I didn't know.
I really appreciate your help.

Thank you
