I have numerous points located on a 3-D polyline. All the points have an
elevation of 0.00. I would like to update these points with the
elevations
of the 3-D polyline at each location. Is this possible? And if so, how?

Thanks.

- offset the 3D Polyline left and right(Vertical offset amount=0)
-create a .FLT file
-DTM>Site Commands>Spot Elevations
Pick for each point

Thanks, but thats a big job doing it manually for 200 points. I've decided
to write a small lisp routine to extract the z value of the 3-D polyline at
each node and re-insert it into the node elevation attribute via selection
set.

I think XML2 is a nice program, especially after using EP, but the node
routines are very limited IMO.

All right. I did read it again, but it still doesn't give me enough
information.

How where the "numerous points" created in the first place at a 0.00
elevation?

Points were created using draw/locate points (elevations were not known at
this time). Later, a 3-D polyline was created which runs through these
points. Now I would like the points updated with the Z value of the sloping
3-D polyline at each point.

Prior to writing a lisp routine on my own, I figured I would ask if this
ability already existed in XML2.

Take care.

Yes, using the "create points from entities" it's on the COGO Pulldown
or command: autopnts
you'll have to take point protect off, and uncheck avoid duplicates with
existing pts

That only creates *additional* points.

Summerizing the original post again....

I'm pretty sure he does not want NEW points.

It will automatically overwrite your existing points as long as "point
protect" is off.
