Importing a text file of x y z points

Hi
I can't find an answer here but does anyone know if it's possible to import a txt file of x y z points. Does OnShape have a different file format or anything? Solidworks uses .sldcrv which is just a renamed .txt file in a certain format. I've attached the file I want to import.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Eoin

Hi, I'm just wondering if there are any news regarding importing X Y Z co-ordinates. This question was asked in August, wondering if they have added anything new since then that can support this.0

These days it's best to create improvement request for voting. Choose IR gategory on right and create new if this doesn't exist already..

There's no way to do it directly, but it is possible to upload a CSV file of XYZ data and create a custom feature that turns it back into points. Let me know if this is interesting and I'll post an example.Ilya Baran \ VP, Architecture and FeatureScript \ Onshape Inc0

You should check this FeatureScript: 3D Points
It allow you to import the X,Y, Z list of points as points or create splines or polylinesUn saludo,

Well - this one has been up for a while!
Super simple - reads an XYZ CSV file and passes a 3D spline through it.

Here is the source code - super simple
var points = [];for (var row in curveData)points = append(points, vector(row[0], row[1], row[2]) * meter);opFitSpline(context, id, {"points" : points});
Have fun!

I would like to see the code of your 'BOOM'-image creator that adds those images to your posts.

I've seen a version of your importer that allows CSV import containing multiple splines:
Is that an official Onshape release?

looks like this is the one:
It's really hard to navigate the featurescript search and find the original version, there are so many copies! Is there a trick to search for it?
