I have an ordered point cloud mathematically generated in x,y,z space. Its N x M points represent the vertices of a surface spanned by splines in two directions. I import as a text file using ScanTo3D. Mesh Prep Wizard does a pretty good job of organizing disordered point clouds, and it draws a mesh as best it can. But it gets into trouble when the mesh converges causing distance in one dimension >> distance in other dimension.
Is it possible for me to import my ordered point cloud so Solidworks defines the splined surface as originally generated? Thanks!
I guess a more precise way of phrasing this is: I'd like to import an ordered point cloud as a set of profile splines, connected by a set of guide curve splines, and loft a surface through the profiles, along the guide curves. Is creating these set of profiles and guide curves possible using any sort of built-in Solidworks function? Maybe it needs to be coded up as a macro, and if so, does anyone have an example of such? Thanks!
