Nodes to Points

[scott.epp]

I am not sure about doing this. I was given a drawing that has just over 1000 nodes in it.
I need to convert it into a surface. Is there a fast way to make each node into a point? Do I need to do this at all?
Any help?

One thing to consider is a data extraction into a CSV file, with X,Y,and Z. You can add columns for point number and descriptor. Then bring them back in with a descriptor key to automatically assign blocks etc.

It depends on what you mean by "node". If they're Autocad Point objects, you can add them to the Surface definition as "Drawing Objects".
