In this tutorial we cover how users can take a Lidar or similarly derived Excel or Notepad document (either VSC or Comma Delimited txt) into Civil 3D to generate a Topographical surface, complete with contours, point data, elevation heat maps etc) which can be used natively in Civil 3D or exported to CAD DWG formats / Revit RVT topography for further development.
