Convert Ground Survey Points to Rectangular Grid

I have an AutoCad file and CSV of 500+ Survey co-ordinates to a reference (0,0,0) point in space. As expected it is in a grid (of about 20m x 20m sections) but extra points are taken at areas that require more detail due to high gradient changes (drainage channels). These points are not in a uniform grid (ie. First points on the X axis can be -0.1850, -0.0079, 0.1008 etc.).
What i'm attempting to do is to create a rectangular, uniform grid of all these points to then import into radiation pattern simulation software to determine what effect the ground has on these waves. Unfortunately, the software has reduced functionality in its topographical component and requires all points in exact order. Is it possible to import these points and produce an output grid system/table which produces an averaged result at pre-defined sections (For example, an xyz co-ordinate produced from the average calculated at every 0.5m x 0.5m section?)
I am very new to this software so trying to get a feel for what limitations there are and how I can best tackle this problem.
Thanks in advance for all your help!

Ah yes I had to play around with this but it was exactly what I needed. Thank you very much! Is it possible to export this data to a table/.csv at given points (ie. an xyz co-ordinate at every 1m interval along all the x values then jumping to the next row of x values)?
Sorry if i've worded it poorly but hopefully the aim is understood!
Thank you greatly :)
