Hi, many thanks, i just found that thread after I started this thread, I have just tried the .dat file way, but its saying "file contains bad point data"

RE: Co-ordinates

I have found that, depending on the file source, the first line in the .dat file is often to blame.  Try deleting it from the .dat file and try again.

RE: Co-ordinates

(OP)
nope, thats still not having it :(

RE: Co-ordinates

(OP)
Ok, i think I have sorted it

You have write out the co-ordinates in the following manner in the dat file, there must be 7 spaces between each co-ordinate, example,

   7spaces    x  7spaces     y   7spaces    z
