Hello all,
Is it possible to create a surface from a file containing XYZ point info that is formatted like this
Contour 1
+0.00015719 -0.00385578 -0.00240279 in +0.00000000

EOR
There is only one line stating "Contour 1", then a boatload of point data followed by the "EOR".
I can read this into excell and reformat it a bit, but the only point data examples that I have seen are always formatted like this.

I believe what I have been handed is not a list points on individual curves, but rather a huge cloud defining a surface.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
