  Placing objects from imported coordinates

  Posted by Graham Lingley on July 9, 2010 at 9:24 am

  Hi,

  I have some coordinates from a excel/csv file and I wish to place a sphere at each coordinate. I can import the data into a polygon object as a bunch of points but can get no further. It sounds relatively simple, but I am no expert in C4D.

  Thanks,
  Graham.

  if you have MoGraph you can do it with a Cloner Object set to Object mode and use your points object as the Object. If not, there pre-MoGraph there were numerous plugins that did the same thing, it should also be possible to do the same thing via XPresso

  Thanks Brian. I knew I was missing something fundamental!
