Creating XYZ coordinate text file from a model

Creating XYZ coordinate text file from a model

(OP)
Hi Everyone,

Does anyone know if its possible to export the XYZ coord data of an entire model to an ASCII file direct from UG? e.g. create a point cloud file.

We have to need to generate a text file that we can archive that defines the part in terms of XYZ cordinates.

Regards

Simon

Hi,

You can export points coordinates to spreadsheet.

1) Assign names for points (use add index, assign Name "Point" and mark add index, select all points)
2) Open spreadsheet in modeling
3) Select cell B1 and higlight C1 & D1
4) Enter =Point(A1)
5) Ctrl + Shift + Enter
6) Populate this cell

Column A contain names of points eg. Point-1, Point-2

Best Regards
Pawel Siwak
