It looks to me that a Structured Points Dataset is astructure used for images 
and like. The disctances between points are fixed, right?

If this is correct I wonder if your Points is in a regular shape, like a 
square, rectangle, cube or box? If so you might be able to use some of the 
built in Meshes for these shapes.
