Is there a way to list and save to a text file the coordinates for a group of points (200+)?
“What” command gives more than just the coordinates and would take a long time to delete the extra lines of text. I am trying to list the coordinates of an airfoil shape.
Thanks.
Hello,
Save as : csv, or scripting for more complex requirements

I tried it and “WHAT” doesn’t have a save as csv option, for me. And wouldn’t it just give me all of the other information I don’t want? Here is the “what” output for 2 points. All I want is the x,y,z for each point, in a list that I can give to other programs.
point
ID: 2dbcca50-73c3-496f-83f9-9f63eee5edff (154)
Object name: (not named)
Layer name: Root points
Render Material:
source = from layer
index = -1
Geometry:
Valid point.
Point at (0.002,0.010,0.000).

Hello,
Just select the points --> Save as --> points
You can choose options such as comma / semicolon / etc…

Thank you, that’s perfect.
