Surface creation from a field of points
Surface creation from a field of points
(OP)
I am trying to figure out if it is possible to create a surface from a field of points that I imported into Catia from an Excel file. I have tried Quick Surface Reconstruction and Digitized Shape Editor, but in order o use these I need to import a point cloud and I don't know how to create a point cloud from the exisitng points I made in Catia. If anybody knows that this is possible to do I would really appreciate it.
Thanks in Advance!

RE: Surface creation from a field of points
1. Save the excel file as a text file
2. (Optional) Rename the text file extension to "asc"
3. From DSE workbench, choose "Import Cloud"
4. From the file type choose "ascii"
5. Browse for the saved text (ascii) file
6. You will probably need to play a little bit with the options there, and then hit ok.
This should bring you a point cloud in your file. Now, the surface reconstruction is a different (and longer) story, but at least you can have something you can play with.
Hope that helps.
