Try the **SPH Dataset Interpolator**. This will interpolate the point data onto the surface according to an interpolation kernel you can set. To use it, select your point source, then add the **SPH Dataset Interpolator**. In the dialog that pops up, leave the Input to the selected point source, then click on the **Source** input port on the left. On the right, choose the STL. Click OK and apply. Play with the **Spatial Step** to adjust how the point data is “splatted” onto the STL (bigger values make a bigger splat). HTH.
