Surfer Automation can be used to create and work with 3D objects including 3D polylines, 3D polygons, and 3D polymesh. Specifications for how to use 3D objects and methods in automation are outlined in Surfer's help here:
Example
This example demonstrates how to add a 3D polygon to a plot document.
Sub Main
Set surf = GetObject(,"Surfer.Application")
Set plotdoc1 = surf.Documents.Add(srfDocPlot)
Set shapes1 = plotdoc1.Shapes
Dim polygon3dcoordsXY(7) As Double
polygon3dcoordsXY(0) = 1 : polygon3dcoordsXY(1) = 2
polygon3dcoordsXY(2) = 2 : polygon3dcoordsXY(3) = 2.5
polygon3dcoordsXY(4) = 3 : polygon3dcoordsXY(5) = 2.0
polygon3dcoordsXY(6) = 4 : polygon3dcoordsXY(7) = 2.5
Dim polygon3dcoordsZ(3) As Double
polygon3dcoordsZ(0) = 1 : polygon3dcoordsZ(1) = 2
polygon3dcoordsZ(2) = 3 : polygon3dcoordsZ(3) =4
Set polygon3d = shapes1.AddPolygon3D(polygon3dcoordsXY, polygon3dcoordsZ)
'use the 3D polygon object from here on
End Sub
