Michael, Can you see anything wrong with this coord file? I backplot it and it looks like this... If I do an ImportPointFile, I receive an error. I did an import in Rhino and it states "success" but I dont get any visible objects...

Thanks for any help. (It may be invalid somehow....It is from another user so I dont know how it was created)

Hi Burr, so this text file has lines in it that look like this:

X 1.00000 Y 1.00000 Z -0.24050


But more often raw listed coordinates would not have those additional "X" "Y" "Z" labels listed in there and instead just have only the coordinates something like this:

1.00000,1.00000,-0.24050


I've attached a modified verison of the file here, it should probably work now, let me know if you still have problems.

- Michael

Ok Thanks... So, you made it comma sepperated and... The import will automatically parse as "x then y then z"..

Again, thanks for the help..

Hi Burr,

> The import will automatically parse as "x then y then z"..

Yup, most of the time these kinds of things just assume that 3 numbers on a line are in x y z order, so there's no need to have additional labels in there and in fact the additional labels will often throw things off.


> Again, thanks for the help..

No sweat! :)
