Hey annsi and kenny - thanks for that i'm going to give it a shot - will keep you posted! -

thanks guys for your advice - i just checked and the elevation data isn't there - all the crosses have the same value in entity info and are the same plane! i'm going to try and fudge it!

Hi Gaieus, Thank you for your time in getting back to me.
i've attached a screenshot showing the number data with the cross (x) as it appears in Autocad and then in su7 how the points come in without the numbers and just the x which have 6 edges and also a length!

thanks again for your time .

'Rome wasn't built in a day, but they didn't have sketchup!'

Hi Gaieus,
I only just joined the community and have been reading your thread about the scripts etc to convert spot points from autocad accross to sketchup - i'm not a coder but i have worked with computers for 20 years so i'm hoping i'm not stupid but i've tried all the links and have not been able to get it to work - could you point me in the right direction!! - i've got about 2-300 points in an autocad file from an architect each point has a cross and a 6digit decimal (ie 100.040 ) .

any advice much appreciated!

cheers
