Attached is a points file obtained from a landsurveyor (PP25.TAC) its really just a txt file with XYZ tag values I have edited this file in Excel and cut & paste only the XYZ values into columns. Then Save As (Points File_0247.csv) this is then the file I'm trying REVIT to read, building a site from a points file.

I have no joy, can anyone help, PLEASE!!!

I don't see how you can do this in Revit but I know you can in AutoCAD if you have the right lisp routine.  Once the poits are set in a 3d drawing, you can easily import into REVIT.

WWHub, Do you know where I can find that LISP routine I also use AutoCAD. I have also heard about creating a Digital Terrain Model (DTM) in AutoCAD using a script file to place the coordinates from the points file. But I'm out of time. Any HELP will do.

Sorry - At one time I could have written it but not anymore.  Your surveyor should be able to furnish you a dwg file with the points in it.  The surveyor or a civil engineer may have a lisp routine to convert the file.
