Creating a mesh from Z points
-
Hello,
I have opened a dwg in Sketchup and have put the info (X,Y, & Z) as close to the SU origin as possible.
What I notice is that there is information on the lot lines,etc. in a flat base (which I have grouped), but more importantly, there are a great many points (and lines) with Z level info that I want to convert to a topo mesh.All the info I see on the forum and youtube is about creating terrains with contour LINES, but I can't quite find how to convert points (and some lines) to a terrain.
I attach the skp file.
Any advice and direction as to how to create a terrain with the Z info I have would be much appreciated.
With my thanks.
David S.

This http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=253563#p253563 should help your turn your points into a nice terrain. Read the plugin page: there's quite a few cases there.
If you're searching here a search like: autocad survey data should pull up some useful things.
As for the metadata with the lines this should help bring it in: http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=23002&p=318195&hilit=ImportDXFtext#p318195, I was hoping to view the data - but I was dismayed to find your file was 2013 http://sketchucation.com/forums/posting.php?mode=reply&f=15&t=53812#
