CSV import: how to import double

FAQ
1

Hello,

I’m quite new to dynamo.
I’m currently trying to generate a list op points via XYZ coordinates that I wrote down on a CSV File.
Through the ImportFromCSV node, dynamo can interprete the file.
However it can’t read the decimal values.
in my CSV I have “-20062.215” , Dynamo reads this as -20062
no decimal value. in some other cases I get a Warning: "Asked to convert non-convertible types"
Does anybody know how to solve this?
I tried to chance the point to a comma, but then Dynamo thinks I meant to seperate values “-20062” and “215”

Thanks in advance for the help.

Kind Regards,

Merijn Vanalderweireldt

Just use the Read CSV to Flat List node from the Bakery package

This is pretty simple and super fast with CSV parsing nodes from Archi-lab:

HI, I would like to add another import problem from csv to dyn.

I have a simple csv file with points coordinates, but dynamo is no reading it, shoving some null value that apparently don’t exist.
any idea?
