Greg - The exact steps you take depend on the format of the point data. If
it's ordered and formated correctly, Surfcam from Surfware (Westlake Village,
California) can import it and create spline curves through which you can loft
machinable surfaces. I did it years ago, and at the time, it was
straightforward.
