[Radiance-general] Translating a grid into an acad file

[Martin Moeck]

Hello,

I would like to translate a grid with dimensions m X n consisting of equally spaced cartesian coordinates in x and y, but varying heights in z, into a 3D acad file or 3D acad readable format. The file format is as follows:

x1 y1 z 
x1 y2 z
x1 y3 z
...
x1 yn z
x2 y1 z
x2 y2 z
x2 y3 z
...
x2 yn z
...
xm y1 z
xm y2 z
xm y3 z
..
xm yn z

where z is a variable with different real positve values indicating variable different heights. This set could come from a radiance mesh primitive, but this is not important here. It is just topography, such as the geometry of a landscape. How would you approach this problem? Intermediate steps using the obj or other formats might possibly help. 

Thanks

Martin
