Creating surface from measured points???

[SagDi]

Is there any possible way to import a measured set of data X,Y,Z, by using a cmm , in order to costruct a surface.
My inspection conducted on a casting part and i want to visualize my results.

Thanks in advance.

This should point you in the right direction if your cmm can not output to iges.

There are other scripts out there. Search points from excel.

use dse import, then mesh, then qsr automatic surface (you may just be lucky, you may be exceptionally lucky and get a nice quality surface) get some training on these workbenches.

Do you really need to build the surface ?

If you want to check the result of the CMM... you can directly compare the cloud // your solid using "Distance Analysis"
