External File

The user can also import the near field points from a text file. This file can then be imported by selecting "External File" in the "Geometry Types" combo-box. Note that this option imports a file of points, but does not preserve the near field type (i.e. every point is imported as a separate type). In order to preserve the near field type, the "Export file" and "Import file" options must be used instead.

The external file must contain a list of points given by its X, Y and Z coordinates, with every point specified in separated lines.

Click on "OK" button to insert the observation points from the file, or abort the insertion by clicking on "Cancel" button.
