Import .CSV File to feed a list node

Hello Trimble Creator Team

It would be handy if you added the ability to import a .csv file, to feed a list node.
and at least a text field to paste the list as text with the detection of separators.
What do you say ?

We definitely want to support tabular data (like CSV, lists etc!). I’ll add your voice to the feedback asking for it!

Hello Keith

And if you are really convinced and motivated, add an input-file parameter node that would allow you to feed the lists directly from SketchUp without going through the graph. :rocket:

Afterwards, our little Ruby coder hands will make plugins to create csv from a selection.

Examples:

  • Retrieve the list of contour points of a face,
  • Get the points of a curve
  • Recover the colors of a selection,
  • Get the dimensions of an object
  • …

Example workflow:
My component Live wooden terrace, requires to enter the points of the contour of the terrace.

  1. I draw in SketchUp the surface of the terrace.
  2. I select the surface
  3. I am using a future plugin which creates the CSV file of the face contour points.
  4. I place my live component
  5. I activate the dialog
  6. I click on the input I select my CSV file
  7. The terrace is modeled by following the graph with the points

That would be great ! :grinning:
Do you think it’s possible ?
