Curve Through XYZ Points

[nalves]

I am trying to use SW to design a ship hull. I have a list of points (forming spline curves) where the surface of the hull should lie on. I can insert them using the command "curve through xyz points, reading from a text file". The problem is that I am using the command for each curve. Is there any way to read (insert) all the curves from a single *.txt file?

Thanks in advance

Try a search here for XYZ. It's been discussed before.

Read the help it describes how you are suppose to set up your text file.

I have tryed a search as you sugested "ctopher", and i have found a macro that reads from an txt file, and creates a cloud of points. Thanks for the sugestion.

I have no experience programming macros, so mi question is: is it possible to program a macro that could as well read the txt file and create a spline curve, based on the previous points, or creates the same spline curves using the "cloud"?

. Is there any way to read (insert) all the curves from a single *.txt file?

No, each curve will have to have it's own text file.
