a lot of curves into a surface?

hello everybody
I've got a triangled terrain model which does only have curves as polygon outlines instead of real polygons. (It are 88269 closed curves!)
I tried to use the planarsrf command on all curves but that does not work.
Is there any option how I can get a meshed model? Or can is it a problem of my import options? (the model comes as .dwg) I did not see any options dialog ...
thanks for any help!

I must add, that Planarsrf does work on several curves. It just did not work on all curves (after 30min of calculating :))
I'm trying small portions now which works better!

There should definedly be some option to get this in as a mesh. From .dwg or some mesh format like .obj.
Using the Outlines to create planar surfaces is Nonsense. Unneccesary additional work - further it will
blow up the Polycount as the PlanarSrf-Command adds several Triangles for what used to be just one Mesh-Face.

It seemed to be the only solution ... but it worked fine even when selecting large parts. There was just one curve which created problems when I selected it. Took me a while to figure that out.

There is a command, "mesh from closed curve" or so... sorry i am on my phone you'll have to see.

But to work on all curves you need to put it in a repeat loop via script or grasshopper
