Surface through points
Surface through points
(OP)
Hi there,
I have 30 land surveyed points (X,Y,Z) in SolidWorks that I would like to create a surface through. The points came from a land surveyor and I now need to calculate the volume of the surveyed land. I am sure SW can do the trick?
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Regards

RE: Surface through points
Thanks for the helpful macros. Once the points are in SolidWorks, do you have a tip to create a surface or volume from these points? I can manualy (2 hours of work) create 3DSketch lines between the points but how does one create a surface from this?

Thanks for the macros. Just a question, once the points are in SW, how does one easily create a surface? I can if required create 3D Sketch lines in triangular format between all points. From these lines can one then create a surface?

Create a surface over the resultant shape and form a solid. The volume of the solid can then be obtained with the Measure tool.
