Default Re: Important issue: inability to import a line of vertices

Thank you, Andy.
Help->About-plugins describes a plugin called "Points Import Plugin - Version 1.1 by Inivis".
I could not find this plugin on the Inivis site. Perhaps you know where it is?

What I did find was Scott Nelson's unix shell-script to convert a file of 3D points (X, Y, Z) into an AC3D line/polyline.

I used his script to hand code an example of 127 points into an 'ac' file. It loaded fine. A screen pic of the line in AC3D is attached.

OK, that solves my problem in principle. But it would be an advantage to have the above plugin if it still exists. I don't want to be snowed under with external format conversion programs

That's good; I can retrieve AC3D from the bin. The main function I am anxious to use is the scaling function which gives me four very precious decimal places of scaling.

I'll post some of my current work a little later.

Many thanks again
Mike
