I have an excel with xyz coordinates of the terrain. I want to import them in the point cloud tool. I can create an ASCII file (*.xyz) an use the import option.
I created a small test file, with the coordinates (see attached - I had to rename to txt-file to be able to upload it here).
When importing it, it reads the coordinates as expected:
However when trying to create the pod-file, it fails (message center: "Convert Failed"). I read this topic ( Export a POD file into text, in order to create a mesh from the points generated. ) about it but it seems not related to my issue, since I only have xyz defined.

What is it that you're trying to achieve with this operation? It appears you're trying to create a Terrain model from surface points. Where did these XYZ points originate? Was there any reason you are wanting to use the Point Cloud tools? This operation might be better achieved using the OpenRoads tools.
