Hi!
The files are created in an other visualizing software, but just as line segments. They can be exported in multiple formats, all human readable, including obj.
I will look up how to make a cutom tool bar action, thanks for the tip.
I am thinking the direction of my script is not adequate to begin with.
The solution probably involves making blank prefabs of and empty CurvySplineGroup, an empty CurvySpline with a preset CurvySplinePathMeshBuilder on it, and an empty CurvySplineSegment, then making a script to populate the group with a spline for each file, a segment for each line in the file. Then I get a 3d tube shaped path for each set of data.
My script is bad, and more like a rough sketch for what I want to do. I will keep working on this and post my progress.
Getting a script to read the text file into a spline is the first step, and I think would be very useful to others : D
Thanks for the reply,
Lila
I am not sure what you mean by custom Toolbar Action at the moment. Looking into Advanced Editor Scripting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-wShOv8c1E which may help.
If you could point me towards any information on how to make a custom Toolbar Action, that would be awesome!
Thanks,
Lila

the idea is good, but I would create a custom Toolbar Action to handle the task.
