I would like to alter the (extrude-) x-heighth of separate parts of a grouped 3D object to make a graph.

What happens is:

1. when I make a 3D object of the ungrouped vector, every part of it flies all over the place.

2. When I ungroup the object after making it a 3D object, it turns to 2D again

3. when I try to adjust separate parts they do not keep…

I want to build a 3D vector graph as in the image below, namely a 3D spiral with numerically specified steps going up. Those specified steps would need to be inserted numerically.

0. When I ungroup the 3D object, it becomes 2D again.

1. When I try to adjust the extrusion depth of a separate subgroup, it seems to be impossible, the 3D settings of…
