    was adquired from a 3d scanner, does anybody knows how to do it.

    Regards.

    That's not really a CAD function. There are other programs that can do
    this, like PC-DMIS and Geomagic Raindrop.

    Try looking up <www.geomagic.com>. Perhaps they can direct you to
    someone who performs this as a service.

    I think it would be possible with SurfaceWorks (not sure, never used
    it)

    You could try next one. Create 3D Sketch and sketch the points cloud to
    which you'll give the x,y,z coordinates. After doing that, "divide" the
    points into sections which you'll use to create 3D curves. Then create
    surface loft through those curves and use guide curves if necessary.
