Hello,

I have a dataset that is a .csv file with lat/long/value columns. I can load this file and do TableToPoints to view the map, which yields a Mercator projection.

What are my options for viewing this information into other projections such as either a flat one like a Robinson projection, or being mapped into 3D as a sphere?

Thanks.

-David O.

You can compute the conversion using the FIlter -\> Calculator.  
Check the “Results coordinates” to use the result as new point location.
