Importing data points form a CSV file

stefan_thullner960

Hello,

I would like to use the 3C CSV Feature Script to import point coordinates from a CSV table. It does work for CSV tables with only integer values. However, I would like to import a list of float points. In that case it tells me "3D CSD 1 did not regenerate properly: Error regenerating.".

What can I do to still import my points?

With lists like this it works:

0,0,0

1,1,1

2,-1,2

3,2,3

4,-2,2

5,3,1

6,-2,0

7,2,1

8,-1,2

9,1,3

With lists like that, I receive that error:

1.775,2.625,2.500

1.781,2.619,2.584

1.793,2.607,2.668

1.824,2.576,2.754

1.879,2.521,2.831

1.947,2.453,2.875

2.061,2.339,2.910

2.200,2.200,2.920

2.200,2.200,2.920

Thanks already for your help!

Hey Stefan,
You may have already figured out this issue, but I suspect the problem is that you have several duplicate points (the last two points are identical). This will throw an error when the feature tries to fit a spline through the points (opFitSpline). I've found the 3C CSV definitions to be more cumbersome than helpful - so I wrote a different feature that will take a csv and create a spline through the points - no need to define start rows or columns. That feature is here: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/ceb23a125beb3f2c034b0c2b/v/552ec7ba6859d122ff061ec8/e/ad6a6423b0183ca1fd9c53bd
