Add Points from Drawing Objects Dialog Box

Specifies the type of AutoCAD object to add:

• Points: Creates surface point data from AutoCAD Point objects. The points XYZ coordinates are used to define the surface point.
• Lines: Creates point data from AutoCAD Line objects. The XYZ coordinates of the objects endpoints are used to define surface points.
• Blocks: Creates point data from AutoCAD Block Reference objects. The block insertion point XYZ coordinates are used to define the surface point.
• Text: Creates point data from AutoCAD Text objects. The text insertion point XYZ coordinates are used to define the surface point.
• 3D Faces: Creates point data from AutoCAD 3DFace objects. The XYZ coordinates of the objects endpoints are used to define surface points.
• Polyface: Creates point data from AutoCAD PolyFaceMesh objects. The XYZ coordinates of the objects endpoints are used to define surface point.

Specifies whether to define the AutoCAD Civil 3D triangle edges based on the edges defined in the original AutoCAD object. If selected, AutoCAD Civil 3D maintains the edges and does not attempt to optimize the edges. Available when importing points from lines, 3D faces, and polyfaces.

Specifies the description for the point data to be created.
