I use Zsurf quite a lot and get pretty good results. Why not just skip ArtCAM altogether?

I was attempting to convert existing .rlf files to a useable form.

RLF is proprietary to Artcam. I believe it is a 16-bit greyscale heightmap file, although it may contain additional info now. It does not represent actual 3d geometry, although it may be converted on export to STL (or other 3d format) or to toolpaths by ArtCAM's machining software.

Thank you chrisd. I'm giving up on .rlf for now. Read that it is encrypted.
