Create 3D surface with API

[satu777]

Hello,
Is possible to create 3D surface (raster) picture or modell file (.dwf) output with API or AutoLISP?

In my web application I have to load x,y,z (point coords) data from MS SQL database. I'd like to create automatically, 3D surface picture from these data. I have to show this surface picture to user in web browser.

Is possible to use MAP 3D for this solution?

Thanks for answers!

Hi,

There are APIs which will enable you to import the Point data into any
version of AutoCAD and to plot the output to a raster file. I don't
have Map 3D so am unaware if it has the inbuilt functionality to create
a TIN model, If t does, then look at its object model by pressing F2 in
the VBAIDE to check what components are available for building the model.

If you have Civil 3D, then the entire functionality is available to
import the points, build a surface model, dispaly the model as 3D faces,
render the model and plot to raster file.

Thanks for your answer.
I'll check the APIs in object browser. If this not solve our problem, I'll try to use Civil 3D with Autolisp.
