Notes:
o Tick the Reset Zero checkbox if you have, for example, title block data which is stored at X, Y coordinates of 0,0 and you want to set them to the coordinates of the main set of data to be imported. o Tick the Join lines to form strings checkbox so that the data imports as a string of points rather than a collection of disjointed lines. o Tick the Delete duplicate points checkbox if you want to remove any duplicate points in the data during the import process.

Select XYZ File, specify the name of the ASCII file to import in the XYZ File field. GM3 Parameters, the Group, Map, Ident and Type fields give you the ability to define how the imported data will be stored in the geometry file. These fields are optional.
