I have some data (x y z coordinates) of a model in a .txt file. can I import them in paraview and generate the model?

@Dinushika1992 : Here is complete steps by steps for opening a .txt file inro ParaView as a PointCloud, (according to the screenshot you attached) : Open ParaView File->Open -> Select your file Uncheck “Have Headers” Set Field Delimiter to " " Apply Add a “Table to Points” Filter Select Field0 as…

Yes, use the Delimited Text reader and the filter Table To Points to convert the table into points.

You should be able to get them into ParaView as a set of points - like a point cloud. You won’t have any surfaces, because your file doesn’t specify how the points are connected.

What is Delimited Text reader. Could you please explain this little more?

How can I get a point cloud? [Capture] I opened .txt file like this in paraview. I don’t know how to get the point cloud?

Use Table To Points filter and select the representation Point Gaussian or 3D Glyphs for more complex point cloud representation.

Polly, this thread directly answers your question, too.

Hi Mathieu, I could get a point cloud. Now I want to know how can I have surface of this structure. I’m very much grateful if you can tell me the steps of it as well. Thank you [Capture]

Hi, You can use the filter called Delaunay3D (menu Filters / Alphabetical / Delaunay3D). You will get an unstructured grid (with 3D cells). In order to convert this into a surfacic mesh, you can use the filter Extract Surface.

Hi Michael, Thank you for the reply. But this method is not working for me. I followed your instructions. But nothing was happened. Point cloud is same as it was.
