Hmm interesting that you want the points aligned but don't want a mesh
like Geomagic would produce. One alternative is to use Geomagic to
combine the points let it be wrapped and meshed. Then you can sort of
sample the surface as just points. Throw away the topology and keep the
geometry (points). Would u describe your application a bit more as I am
puzzled that you don't want more than points.

Thanks much! I do have Rhino, and the points are from a scanner, so
this might be a good solution for us. I'm not sure yet if the points
are in a matrix, but if not maybe I can push them into one.
I don't think that answering a question is a violation of list
etiquette; it is random unsolicited advertising that's discouraged. One
doesn't want to be spammed every time someone releases a new product,
but if there's a discussion for which said product is on-topic,
mentioning it is no crime.
