Re: Read back generated shape
Just by looking at the contents of a Shape object file you can easily see the coordinates you need to recreate the Shape object.

The v lines represent the wanted coordinates. The order of the coordinates is X, Z, Y (X, Z, Y , not X, Y, Z.)
There are only 8 v lines in a Shape object file so you just have to remember that v lines 7 and 8 are in reversed order. (1,2,3,4,5,6,8,7)

The bottom group has the points 1 to 4 in that order. (i.e. the four v lines),
the back group has the points 5 and 6,
the left group has point 8,
and the right group has point 7.

With this you have all 8 points you can enter in the Generate Shape tool to recreate the shape.
Don't forget it's X,Z,Y, not X,Y,Z smile
