I am not sure to get you problem. Are you talking about importing
polylines from a file?

The following code reads polylines given as:
n x1 y1 z1 x2 y2 z2 ...... xn yn zn
n x1 y1 z1 x2 y2 z2 ...... xn yn zn
n x1 y1 z1 x2 y2 z2 ...... xn yn zn



  std::list<std::vector<Point_3> > polylines;
  std::ifstream ifs(filename);
  std::size_t n;
  while(ifs >> n) {
    polylines.resize(polylines.size()+1);
    std::vector<Point_3>& polyline = polylines.back();
    while(n--){
      Point_3 p;
      ifs >> p;
      polyline.push_back(p);
    }
  }
