A surface can be captured by its UV curves directly from Rhino. Create a surface element and rebuild it using the “Rebuild” command to specify the UV order. Do not use the Re-Trim option, to allow a full surface definition.

Select the surface entity (ensure that only one entity is selected) and press the Get Points from CAD button.

The surface will be captured according to the predefined UV settings.

The “E” and “F” columns in the Cloud Data panel can be used to determine the UV curve positioning. Enter values between 0-1 to define the relative position of a UV curve (E stands for U and F stands for V). The UV list will define the resulted cloud order.
