Point Data Import Utility

 

If you have a text file with data consisting of a point index, x, y, z, and a note, then this utility will organize the data by sorting the points by the value of the note. It creates point or polygon geometry based on user selected points.

 

 

 

 

 

The check boxes determine which points to use for import. By default, no points are selected.

 

 

The geometry creation buttons are used to create geometry from the selected points.

 

 

The layers drop-down and update button  are used to select a layer from the active drawing and to update the list of layers in the active drawing.

 

The file open button  is used to select a text file for processing

 

If a set of points is selected then the import points button  will import these data points as points.

 

Use the polygon button * to create a single closed polygon from the selected points. 

 

Use the poly-line button  to create an open polygon from the selected points.

 

* These are the view mode toggles. They are used to view the data points as structured (sorted by note) or as unstructured which shows data as is was read from the test file.
