    Steve,



    I'm not sure what you are trying to achieve, but one way of doing this is to create two surfaces and then use the 'intersect' command.

    At the intersection of the two surfaces you'll have a '3D' curve.

    Not sure if I have explained that very well.



    Drop me a line if you need any more explanation.



    Simon

    Lookup how to use a ".ibl" format file. You can define a list of 3D points
    in a text file and use it to create a curve.

    The help below shows a blend file (.ibl) that creates a simple surface. It
    can be cut down to only one curve of as many points as desired.
