Mesh points only from poly lines / lines?

[MrSoleil]

Is there a way to create a mesh with points only (no lines/ridges) from a survey (lines, poly lines)? 

Mesh lines don't work for modifying the terrain later on. 

Please don't tell me Archicad only has manual input of those...

Hello MrSoleil,

To import a survey you have to clic on Files/Interoperability/import survey data (or something like that I'm french).

Mesh lines works for modifying the terrain later on too !

Hi @MrSoleil 

As @Christophe Fortineau mentioned, you can import surveyor's XYZ points under File> Interoperability> Place Mesh from Surveyor's Data.

If you don't want to see the edges/ridges or points in your Floor Plan and Section or 3D views you can choose the Show User Defined Ridges and All Ridges Selection under Mesh Selection Settings for a cleaner look. Sometimes even changing or disabling the Cover Fills helps to achieve this.

I mean to create points, not mesh lines. The lines are impossible to work with, modifications are incredibly difficult. Points can be deleted. Is there really not a way to get points instead of lines? Shouldn't be that hard for archicad.
