Issue description
You have received a .TXT file from a surveyor and on import it has given an error, 'Archicad cannot interpret the data in this file'.
Solution
Open the .TXT file in a text editor and look for these things:
- Only numerical input: Every line with a non-numeric item will be automatically counted as a comment.
- Only three columns: X Y and Z, Remove all headers and 'extra' columns
- Consistent separator use: Every line needs the same separator semicolon, space, or tab.
- Rows that have a 0,0,0 for X, Y and Z: these need to be removed
Your edited file should look like this: three simple columns of X, Y and Z data
