LISP to auto-create PolyLines from point-cloud data for sections

Hi,
I've posted this in the ReCap forum but thought I'd give it a shot here as well if you don't mind, as it relates to LISPs etc.
I am not sure if this is something that can be done within ReCap / AutoCAD's standard commands or, I will have to create a LISP routine to do so.
I am using point-cloud data to create sections of buildings although may be of any hollow 3D structure. I create a 50mm or 100mm wide 'swathe' as seen in plan view, from the cloud data and then export this to AutoCAD and create a pcg file. This is then 'flipped' by 90 degs to view face on or rather, the 'z' levels now being the 'y' values in screen coordinates. This swathe now appears as a band of points no more than 2mm wide generally along all sectioned features (floors, walls, doors, windows, roof-line etc)..
I am looking for an automated method for AutoCAD to follow these 2mm lines and simply plot a Polyline along its centre. There will obviously need to be some sort of tolerance setting and there will undoubtedly be issues where point density is dubious or points missing or more then 2mm wide etc but, it is hoped that the vast majority of the process may be created automatically, reducing the Drafter's work time greatly.
Any thoughts, comments or otherwise?
Thanks.
