      Hi everyone,
      using SU 2017 at the office and I don't have opportunity to install any plugins like toposhaper (at least quickly enough..)
      I would like to ask for help.
      I have this points cloud and I would like to just create a surface by triangulation from those points.

      If anyone could do it and send back the file, that 'd be great!!

      Bye

      Arthur

        Your point cloud is too dense in some parts and this defeats the interpolation. I would suggest that you clean it up by discarding a few points, at least those which are very close with different altitudes.

        Anyway, here is the result for the simple Delaunay Triangulation.

        A little bit shaky, but enough to extract isocontours and generate the terrain with a quadmesh style.

        Both are enclosed in the attached model (SU2017).
