Hi!

I am working on an aerospace component that i scanned with a 3D digitizer. The point cloud was originally in XOR Rapid form software and then exported into a .STL file. I wish to import the point cloud in NX 7.5 in order to being able to experiment with the different methods to generate the surfaces. However, when I import the .stl it imports it as a geometry instead of a series of different points that can be selected.

Is there anyway to import the .stl file in a way that I can use and select the points instead of being imported just as a geometry??

Thank you!!
