Creating scene from (x,y,z) points

Hello,

I have a file with written (x,y,z) points (describing a surface) and I
want to create a scene with this surface. How to do it? Is there any
easy way to achieve this? Maybe a loader?

If you *only* have the points: no way. It's too ambiguous.
If you have the points and a directive, how they are to be connected,
it /might/ work.

Please also have a look at

I was just thinking about it and came across this:
you might try to build a trianglestrip / quadstrip from your
collection of points. You 'just' have to choose the right points
every time.
You could use the euclidian distance measure for a means to decide.
When you have additional info about your surface (convex?) and a
large enough number of points to reduce ambiguity, you might succeed.

But maybe someone with a little more experience regarding Indexed-
FaceSets might help you out.
