Converting CSV to Points

ParaView Support
1

I have the following CSV file:

x,y,z,Temp
0,0,0,1
4,0,0,2
0,4,0,3
4,4,0,4
0,0,8,5
4,0,8,6
0,4,8,7

I import it into ParaView using the standard CSV reader. Then I try to apply the Table to Points filter, select the appropriate X, Y and Z columns and then I get an error thrown. This is with 5.10.1 version (both ARM64 and x64 versions on macOS).

vtkTableToPolyData (0x600000ccc000): Failed to locate the columns to use for the point coordinates

Anyone have any ideas?

You file and steps look ok, see below. I cannot replicate the error on my linux machine.

Nevermind. The file was a UTF8 file. Once I removed the magic 3 bytes ParaView didn’t have any issues.
