I'm trying to create an existing ground surface using survey data. The data came in tab-delimited .csv format. The data columns are "point number" "northing" "easting" "elevation" "description".
I used InRoads heavily in the mid-2000's and imported survey surface data with no trouble on a regular basis but I can't seem to remember the steps correctly.
This is the what I've tried but has not worked:
1st create and save the empty surface.
2nd open the import survey data text import wizard:
file / import / Survey Data /
3rd go through the import wizard steps
Using the .csv file it I go through the text import wizard steps and the process completes without errors BUT points are copied into the surface.
So I tried saving the .csv as a text (tab delimited) and then a text (comma delimited) file and also had failed results.
