Exporting Dynamo Points into other software

Geometry

Hi @jacob.small and @Alien ,

Thanks for the feedback and the possible implementations. I also talked to a colleague about this and we found out it’s surprisingly simple to convert points from the Dynamo Workspace into the .pts format, so we settled on that :smiley: .

For other people also wanting to do this conversion, this is the format/ way to do it:

  • Extract the X Y and Z-values from the points and replace the “,” (comma) with “.” (dot).
  • Decide what color you want for each dot, then fill in the Alpha (brightness), and the RGB values. For example: red is 255 255 0 0.
  • Join all these values together and split each of them with a space.
  • Export all these strings into a .csv-file and rename this file to a .pts-file.
  • Done :smiley: .

Possible end result for 1 point:

20.42214 1.54312 5.10491 255 255 0 0
