Creating and exporting a 3D plane from already known x,y,z values

1 view (last 30 days)
Hey all,
I'm getting rather stressed here! I'm new to Matlab but have been told to use it for my thesis. I need to create a 3D plane from x,y and z values I already have stored in excel. I can create a plot fine with cftool but I am finding it hard to export this plane into Arcgis.
So, can anybody help with this? Either with exporting the plane in cftool or does anyone have any other methods by which I can create and export a plane?
I am using Matlab R2012a and Arcmap10.
Thanks

It seems to me that you need to create a file that is compatible with something Arcgis can read. If you have the Mapping Toolbox (I don’t, but looked up the online documentation), see if the meshm function (or one of its friends) may be part of the solution to your problem. If you don’t have the Mapping Toolbox, you’ll have to use whatever data import functions Arcgis has.
