Importing points airfoil points into a 2D sketch

[MikeJ]

Hey Guys,
I must be doing something wrong - but so far, I cannot import my data. As far as I know I have a csv file in UTF-8. When I navigate to the file on the import screen - it shows "zero points detected" and the import button "OK" remains greyed out.

my data file is in mm with (up to) 5 decimal places. Is that the problem? I have just reduced the decimal places to 2 - makes no difference.

Appreciate any help

Mike

You can't have your Camber line and Chord line sections along with the rest. Each section needs its own CSV without headers.

Copy your foil data to a notepad file .txt. without as Nate said the cord lines ect.
Open a new sketch in in model space an do as shown at the picture, its the easy way to make foils instead to fumle with csv files.
When the sketch is extruded you can scale the foil to wanted cord.

Is this procedure available in Atom 3D?

I don't seem to find this "node tool" in my "sketch figures" group. See attached.

Perhaps because it isn't available in Atom3D - see Harold's post above.

Aha! I didn't understand the "bar code" symbols...until now.
