Offset 3d curves

Offset 3d curves

Offset 3d curves

(OP)
I'm trying to create an associative copy, offset along z-axis of all the curves that are parallel to the xy-plane. Some curves are part of the sketch and other are curve features.
Which would be the preferred and easiest way to do this? It seems simple at first but I can't figure out how to do it.

RE: Offset 3d curves

Do all the curves lay on the X-Y plane?  If so, have you tried using Pattern Geometry to create a 'offset' copy along the Z-axis?

Thank you! Pattern Geometry does exactly what I was looking for.
