Importing the point file will make lots more work for you than is desired.
You're starting from scratch with the point file. You still have to add
breaklines, add boundaries, edit the TIN lines etc. The XML is finished /
edited surface. It is by far the better way if the surface is already
created. It's very strange that you say it's easier and faster to import
the point file since importing the XML is a quick one step endeavor. Yes,
sometimes exporting from LDT can be slow, but you will not have to start the
surface from scratch and it only takes a few minutes at most, usually.

Would it be any easier to import the point file in a situation like this?
I've had a little experiance exporting an xml file from LDD and importing it
to Civil 3D and found that it was easier and faster to use the original
point file. Anybody with more experiance want to comment it I'm on the
right track?
