Hello guys, I'm trying to reconstruct a 3D model from a point cloud data which is a text file. when I try to open it with mesh prep wizard it creates a bunch of little pieces rather than creating complete geometry by joining all the points.
I tried the regular method, first enabling "Scan to 3D" add-in later using the "Mesh prep wizard" command. But I'm unable to get the actual geometry.
Is there a special procedure to follow?
Below is the snapshot of the point cloud, Geometry obtained, and Geometry supposed to get (approximate)
Any help is much appreciated!
Thanks in advance

You could draw a spline through all the know sections and then set up some guides and do a loft.
Since it looks like you have three tubes you'll probably have to do each tube and then surface model the "Y" connector section.
