Cylindrical coordinate system
Cylindrical coordinate system
(OP)
How to turn on the cylindrical coordinate system when building a 3D model? The cylindrical coordinate P is normally given in (r,θ, z).
Another question: how to convert cylindrical coordinate system to rectangle system into (X, Y, Z)?
X=r*cos(θ)
Y=r*sin(θ)
Z=?

RE: Cylindrical coordinate system
Insert -> Datum/Point -> Point...
...and in the section of the 'Point' dialog titled 'Offset', set the 'Offset Option' to 'Cylindrical' and you will find your (r,θ,z) entry fields.

RE: Cylindrical coordinate system
What can I do if there are thousands of these points and the coordinates are given in an excel file?
Please find one coordinate file attached.
How can I import these points?
