INTRODUCTION:
3DPoints is a simple macro that provides a means to import 3D points, from a
text file generated by coordinate measuring machine, into a 3D sketch.


HOW TO USE:
* Start a new part model and save it to the directory where the 3D points data 
  file resides.
* Launch the 3DPoints.swp macro.
* Select 3D points data file.
* Select resolution ( to match resolution of points in data file. )
* Select "Import"
* Save 3D points model.
* Import 3D points model, and model of part/assembly into a SolidWorks assembly
  for comparison of points against model.


NOTES: 
* Data file must be in the same directory as the "blank" part model that 3D
  point data will be imported into.
* User should be familiar with resolution (or scale) if input 3D data.
* Macro is to be launched from "main" subroutine in Module3D_Points module.
* Only X, Y, Z coordinates of each "HIT" will be used to create point.
