POINTSIN is a civil engineering and survey tool that reads point data (ID, North, East, Elevation, Description) from a file and inserts an attributed Land Desktop(Softdesk/DCA)-style POINT block and a 3d point in AutoCAD for every point in the file. It also has a command to create a single point.
You can change the POINT block if you prefer. The order and graphical arrangement of the attributes doesn't matter. The default POINT block attributes are one unit high. POINTSIN scales the POINT block to the dimension text height (dimscale * dimtxt), so the default POINT block will look as big as the current dimension text height.
You can delete or comment out the lines that insert a 3d point or the POINT block. You can also comment out the lines that create and set layers.
Download POINTSIN.LSP (save it to your computer) by following the link on this page. Also download POINT.DWG (save it to your computer) by following the link on this page or make your own POINT block. If you don't have a points data file to import, you may also want to download the sample POINTS.TXT file.
At minimum, all POINTSIN.LSP needs to work is the POINT block and points data file. Simply drag POINT.DWG from Windows Explorer into your drawing, then load and run POINTSIN.LSP by dragging it into your drawing, typing POINTSIN, and following the prompts to select the data file. That's all there is to it.
It is a very simple matter to change layer behavior. Please open POINTSIN.LSP in NOTEPAD.EXE for guidance.
It is a very simple matter to change whether POINTSIN.LSP inserts 3dpoints, point blocks, or both. Please open POINTSIN.LSP in NOTEPAD.EXE for guidance.
It is a very simple matter to add more file formats. If you need an unsupported file format and you aren't comfortable adding it yourself after reviewing the source code, please contact me.
POINTSIN.LSP neither creates additional files nor writes to the Windows registry.
At a meta level, the title — Bluestone Silk n Blood — functions like an incantation. It names materials and a verbless event, conjuring sensory registers before the first frame appears. The “n” is colloquial, almost conspiratorial, compressing a catalogue into a whispered list. It reads like an inventory of evidence: what remains after story has been told, what artifacts stand when language fails.
In the end, the value of these videos lies in their ability to hold ambivalence: beauty threaded through bruise, reverence edged with unease. They do not offer catharsis so much as an expanded attention. Watching them is a practice in care — for textures, for traces, for the fragile persistence of bodies and things. They remind us that meaning often arrives at the borders: where silk meets stone, where a stain refuses to be merely accidental, where the camera’s eye lingers long enough that the ordinary acquires a kind of sacred weight. bluestone silk n blood videos
Narrative in these pieces is elliptical. Instead of expository arcs, the work favors suggestion and associative logic. Repetition—of a gesture, a fragment of fabric, the slow tilt of a stone—builds meaning via accumulation. Motifs recur, altered each time, like a dream reworked on waking. The viewer stitches together intimations: perhaps a lost ritual, perhaps an inheritance, perhaps the quiet aftermath of an unnamed event. This open architecture resists tidy interpretation; it privileges feeling and memory over plot. At a meta level, the title — Bluestone
Sound design and silence are crucial collaborators. Subtle ambient hums, distant water, the rustle of cloth — these aural textures make the images breathe. Silence often functions like a held breath, intensifying what appears on screen. When music enters, it rarely dominates; it accents the mood, like a secondary color that deepens the palette. The pacing is sculpted by these audio choices: patience becomes a stylistic insistence, asking viewers to slow their habitual scrolling and inhabit the image. It reads like an inventory of evidence: what
