Grasshopper

Hey community!

So i am trying to get inputs in an csv or excel file with 3 columns that where each column represents an x y and z for points that would be mapped in rhino? does anyone have any advice or a start to a script that could help me out. im just trying to create a 3d data graph.

thanks a bunch!

To import sets of points in a .csv file I use the Import command in Rhino and select .csv as the file type.

.csv files need to have the columns separated by commas. (csv is for comma separated values.) Excel can export in .csv format

If you have a file with x y z triplets which are not separated by commas then they should be in a .txt file.

Can you internalize the output of the Read File component, before the text panel?

I see four numbers on each line, not three. Value of the last one are all between 76 and 93?

Here’s some test data from that other thread, internalized in the csv file text param:
