Hello
I have a bunch of points with known coordination. these are points that can make a 3D surface. is there any possibility to pass a curve through these points and then export the result 3D surface as a STL file?
Thanks a lot

Thanks,
actually they are points of out surface of a 3D image that I want to pass through them a surface. I had an 2D image, I wrote a code in MATLAB to convert it to a 3D image. now I have a lot of points that together make the out surface of the 3D object. actually these points are so close to each other because actually I used the pixel coordination to generate these points.
thanks again

The last would probably require a scripted solution if there are many points, although it might be possible to put curves through rows of points and then loft the result.

Points together make the outsurface of a 3D image.
Thanks for your nice idea, I will try to put curve through rows of points and then loft the results.
I'll let you know the outcome.
thanks again for your time and idea.
