# read lines since the data aren't tabular I readLines from the clipboard, but that might as well be your file name assuming the structure is the same. This at least gives you each line as a table, with ID: I got excited thinking I could finish this, but it seems R's sp package won't allow 3D lines. I remember reading on here of a technique to join consecutive points with lines, but I'm not very good at the search function, could anyone point me to it? I can easily import as a csv table and paste as drawing to get the points. for for each point of as many lines as are in the drawing.Ĭan anyone suggest a method of automating import of this into manifold.
The first line is date, format etc, then each line starts with a line beginning with zero, then axis coordinates (not sure what they do, I think they can be ignored if zero) then string number,y,x,z. The format is a simple text file - example at the end.
I'm trying to get data in surpac str format into manifold.
