I have a set of data points in 2 axes, I have some data points with x,y co-ordinates, and I also have a set of data with x,z co-ordinates, if I combine the two sets to give myself x,y,z values, can I then plot those values using a 3D program to create a 3d model? I have several sets of data I would like to see on the same model which could be spun and rotated etc.... any of our 3D experts care to comment? |

How many points are there and in what kind of file/format? |

I think there are a couple of hundred per set, they can be formatted as a text file if required |

I am no expert in 3D thing but i know my wife did stuff like that for the frauenhofer institute. But they had a programmer writing the scripts. Blender has a raw importer. But it needs infomation for a trinagle per line in the textfile not only for vertices. What kind of file is it when its NOT a text file? maybe just upload the file somewhere? |

most drafting software (sketchup / cad) will happily let you manually enter stuff by coordinate, but as DBA says, the software requires more info to know what point is connected to which. |

So it cant just use the dataset to fit a trendline in order? |

OOOH. this is data visualisation? bang. got you. Trendlines would have to be calcualted by you. That's far beyond what Cad is designed for. For what you want to do, matlab or similar would make more sense. Another option is to make the graph in excel, import the image into cad and trace it. That will be a lot faster and capture all of the detail you are after. |

essentially I want to plot a 3D graph, but a true 3D graph that can be spun rotated and viewed from any angle |
