      Hello,

      I have a DWG with altimetry points, I'd like to turn into a 3D terrain into SU8 pro

      each point has 2 attributes : number (ID) and height (Z).

      I want to export these information as a CSV file :

      point #,X,Y,Z

      I am using for this : AutoDWG Attribute Extractor : http://www.autodwg.com/AttributeExtraction/

      the goal is to generate a file that Didier Bur's plugin Cloud http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?t=29126 can turn into a 3D file....

      for some reason I can't get it to work, any tips welcome .

      attached is a picture of the source file...

        When you make the file what does it look like?
        Do you have #,x,y,z ?
        or just #,z ??

        It is quite possible to do this - I have something similar to extract a DWG's point data from text-tags, but I'm afraid I can't share it publicly [NDA]...

        In the DWG does the point actually have a true 'elevation' = z or are they all in the same plane with the z as an attribute only? Pick one and get info on it to see...

        IF the points are in the correct 3d relationships then you can simply take a copy of the DWG and delete everything except those points, then import it into a SKP and the points arrive as a cloud of cpoints, which can then be processed into a mesh with one of the point-triangulation scripts... no need for the CSV step at all...

          What does the output from Attribute Extractor look like? Are you able to post a few lines of the output?

          Hi

            Sorry for the late reply.
            the file I was using is corrupted.

            I was given a better one with all the missing layers and datas
