I am looking for help on an issue as follows:
When importing a text file of multiple points the only option is to set the point type to "random" (as opposed to break line, contour etc.). When you use the "random" point type it imports all the points but classifies them all as only "one" feature. What I need is to import all of the points into an InRoads surface as individual features. I am wondering if anyone knows how to do that? Is there a way to adjust the settings of how "random" point type imports? Perhaps it can be set to import all points as individual features?
Thank you very much, I am using V8i SS3
Try to import the Text file with your points as survey data. Every point must have a survey code based on your different feature codes. You have to set the survey codes for every feature code first (feature manager)
After that you can import the data as survey data and push that survey data to surface data where you may get one feature code for every survey code. Traditional for every survey guy here around ;-)

Another way to do it in the native InRoads tools is to use the File>Text Import Wizard. If you text file has a column with a point number, you can assign that column as "Name" and each point will come in as a separate feature with that name.
If your text file does not already have a point number column that you can use for name, you might have to open it in Excel and add the column.

Thanks for the responses. Problem solved, There were no point names included in the text file.
