as Warp already pointed out, generating triangles from a set of points
is not an easy task and subject to current research. However, it might
be feasible in your special case. I would try the following:
- project the points in the plane
- make a Delaunay triangulation 
- set the correct elevation
If the result is not good enough, I'm sure we can think of something
else.
