CATIA - Import and process ASC files

3D Comparison
in Modeling
0 0 Beginner
There are many complicated file formats for reading and writing 3D mesh data. However, if you work only with 3D points in your 3D geometry application, then the ASC file format is a convenient way to read, write and display point data. ASC stands for ASCII and the files have an extension of .asc. This is a text file format, where each line has the XYZ coordinates of one point, each coordinate separated by whitespace. CATIA V5 can process ASC files, but it does require a lot of time! https://youtu.be/gS4HEcjG13A
