Is there a way to create 3D buffers?
in Vector Data
I wanted to create a 3D circular buffer around a line feature so that when shown in 3D view, it would be a cylinder around the line feature. Is there any way to do this in Global Mapper?

There is an option to extrude 3d area features down to the ground level. I don't remember exactly where it is, but I'll come back and add a screenshot when I fire up GM today.
