Hi First of all I'm using 10.0. When I run the code at the bottom I get the following result; PythonWin 2.6.5 (r265:79096, Mar 19 2010, 21:48:26) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32.

I tried it with and without .prj but alas no success. The sample code states that it is for Output but I beleive the syntax is for input. I'm confused '''**************************************************************************** Name: ASCII3D_to_Feature_Class Example Description: This script demonstrates how to use the              ASCII3D_to_Feature_Class tool to create a point feature class              from a set of text files in the specified workspace. ****************************************************************************''' # Import system modules` import arcpy from arcpy import env import exceptions, sys, traceback try:     # Obtain a license for the ArcGIS 3D Analyst extension     arcpy.CheckOutExtension("3D")     # Set environment settings     env.workspace = "M:/GIS/LidarProd/XYZToFeature/Missing Lidar from DSE 21022013/elevation/cep2007-08_srw-90mb/regular_surface/dem_ground/xyz_ascii"     # Set Local Variables     inFormat = "XYZ"     # Name of the output file     outFC = "90MileBeachPts_from_ASCII.shp"     # Geometry of the output feature class     outType = "MULTIPOINT"     zFactor = 1     # Coordinate system of the output feature class     CS = "Geographic Coordinate Systems/GDA 1994 MGA Zone 55.prj"     fileSuffix = "mga55.xyz"     decSep = "DECIMAL_POINT" # Specifies the decimal delimeter     # Create list of ASCII files     txtList = arcpy.ListFiles("*" + fileSuffix)     # Verify the presence of TINs in the list     if len(txtList) > 0:         # Execute ASCII3D_to_Feature_Class         arcpy.ASCII3DToFeatureClass_3d(txtList, inFormat, outFC, outType,                                      zFactor, CS, fileSuffix, decSep) except arcpy.ExecuteError:     print arcpy.GetMessages() except:     # Get the traceback object     tb = sys.exc_info()[2]     tbinfo = traceback.format_tb(tb)[0]     # Concatenate error information into message string     pymsg = 'PYTHON ERRORS:\nTraceback info:\n{0}\nError Info:\n{1}'\           .format(tbinfo, str(sys.exc_info()[1]))     msgs = 'ArcPy ERRORS:\n {0}\n'.format(arcpy.GetMessages(2))     # Return python error messages for script tool or Python Window     arcpy.AddError(pymsg)     arcpy.AddError(msgs) ...
