You are opening this file using a molecule reader (xyz is a popular molecule format). Use the correct reader for your data instead ?

For example, the Delimted Text reader.

I renamed the data with .txt/.csv extensions
but couldn’t open it properly using:

  • CSV Reader
  • GDAL Vector Reader
  • PDAL Reader

What should I do exactly?
