Add Surface From Points

The Add Surface From Points tool allows you to create a terrain-like surface from a file that contains geometries such as surfaces, lines and points. This is a common feature in a 3D CAD tool that has 3D scans stored as a point cloud for surface reconstruction. This particular command has a subtle difference from the Add Surface From Existing Points tool, where the dialog is populated with a triangle at first and is enabled for either editing or importing from files.

File types include:

• Text Files (*.txt)
• Comma Separated Values Files (*.csv)
• XYZ Files (*.xyz)
• ASC Files (*.asc)
• LAS Files (*.las)
