Awesome that was it. I had to change it to inches.

I have a dwg file that I imported. The scale is way off. It comes in at like 150' when I scale it down to 4', I export it as a dwg. When i re-import the dwg it comes back in way overscaled. I have attached a rar of the dwg file. Any help would be appreciated.

With the number of points you have in that file its probably easiest to just connect the points up by hand with the line tool, just make sure you try and make triangles between the points otherwise SU wont necessarily close the faces.

Thanks,
That's a simple example included with their software. What would you recomend for a scene with more points?

Not sure what region you are in, but the .rar requires an unzip program such as 7zip to expand it, so your respondents need to be aware of that.

The website won't allow me to upload the dwg file. I'll upload a zip file if that's easier

Zip of the DWG File

Basically I want to use SU for Crime Scene and Accident Reconstruction. I use a total station to collect point data from scenes. I import that data from the total station's data collector into a program called CADZone (http://www.cadzone.com). From CADZone I export a dwg file. I want to create road, sidewalk and terrain surfaces from these points and lines. I have attached an example from the software. Should I connect the points with lines and use the sandbox's from contours tool? Any ideas would be appeciated.

Thanks. It didn't work. I don't see any options in SU for Point Triangulation. Basically I want to use SU for Crime Scene and Accident Reconstruction.

I need to create surfaces from point cloud data collected from a total station. I found a couple of tutorials here but the link to the ruby script is just text not a file.

What am I doing wrong?
