Creating terrain from DSM / Point helper data...

[Q-Bix]

Hi all,

 

I have just taken advantage of a service available from www.promap.co.uk. They offer ordnance survey information downloads at a cost and we use this on a regular basis to pull down topgraphical info which we use for our feasibility shcemes in cad.

 

The now offer height data or DSM as they call it, i have downloaded a sample for a scheme that is likley to need a visual in the future. The data comes as a dxf and consits of hundreds of points at 5m centers forming a grid.

 

My question is this...

 

Id there an easy way to convert this infomation into a terrain?

 

Im aware of the terrain tool, but as far as i know it only works with splinesm is there another way?

 

I have VIZ, Revit, Auto CAD, Sketchup and ADT to help me.

 

Any ideas?
