convert CSV to .xyz or .txt file to create mesh from surveyor's data

jm23 — Tue, 13 Jun 2023 12:04:07 GMT

Hello,

Looking to export the data points from the CSV file attached so i can drop in a .xyz or .txt file to archicad to create the mesh topography from surveyor data.

Is there an easy way of doing this?

Import the cvs into an excel spreadsheet with separator.
Delete first and last column
And save as text

I attach the converted file

I can convert it for you, but there seems to be missing data for some of the points. Do you have any idea why that might be? When I convert it to TXT and import into AC I get a generic error - presumably because of the missing data.

Hi, I've attached the txt file . I've had to remove some points with missing z-value as @Emre Senoglu mentioned.
