HI, here is the simple exercise of bringing the points from a series of coordinates I have in my spreadsheet, but I’m not sure what am I doing wrong. Any help will be highly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Have tried a different method and my points lie outside the geometry range.

Thanks Marcel, I did that but to no avail.
What I did now is to move my points closer to 0,0,0 by subtracting a certain known value and I did manage to bring my points.
The next question will be, how can I create a loft (with a certain thickness) from a series of tunnel profiles? Each profile consists of 51 points. There are about 43 profiles.

have you tried surface by loft?
and surface thicken?

Hi Marcel,
I guess my next task is to connect these points to form a curve first. Any idea how?

if your point sequence is always the same for every profile, you can try ShiftIndices to get them in the right order

Hi @Allan_Cantos

Create Guide curve from center points and use Surface.ByLoft with GuideCurve.

If you think those are all Arc’s then simply use Arc.ByBestFitthroughpoints node:
