      OK, so I went along and did the changes in the code I wrote above and success; it works perfectly!

        Here's an update http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=284829#p284829
        It should now work ! as Gaieus explained the prompts were wrong 😒 .
        At least I've got him to delve into the bowels of a script AND fix it himself!!
        We'll make a scripter of you yet Csaba!!!

        I fixed the typo in the 'Add' dialog prompts' text.
        I've also add +/- clues in them to avoid users West of Greenwich getting confused by Longitude!
        Also now the 'Add' dialog's values of the Lat/Long start off with the model's origin Lat/Long and thereafter use the last used values...

          OK. I’ll change the code and report back.

          Perhaps that is also what is causing the problem with ‘Import Coords-Tags from CSV’. ❓
          The script will export LL-tags to CSV file perfectly.
          Nothing happens when I try to import a CSV file in LL units.

          I’ve tried importing CSVs I created and I’ve tried importing one of the CSVs the script exported.
          Neither CSV will work. I also tried reversing Latitude and Longitude in the CSV file. Niente. 😞

          ‘Import Coords-Tags from CSV’ does work if I specify length units and not LL

          -Geo

          Geo - no need to change the code - get v1.7, it's fixed!!!

          'Import Coords-Tags from CSV'
          This imports all of the 'Coords-Tags' into the Model from a CSV file in
          to format X,Y,Z or LAT,LONG,Z - the values must be comma separated and
          consist of numerals only with '.' as the decimal separator, one point
          per line.
          A dialog then requests the 'units' used in the CSV file for XY and Z,
          and if you want to add Cpoints [defaults are 'm' and 'Yes'].
          If the CSV file has a 'header' line etc it is ignored.
          Is this what you are doing ?

              Well, I am really glad we could iron this out. I am still thinking on some possible, extra features but enough for today (and this week-end).

              TIG: if the error had been in the codeitself, I would've never been able to find it so let's just forget that scripter apprenticeship! This was just a lucky trial and error (and I got suspicious because one regularly needs to add the Lat datum first and the Lon datum second although this is merely a convention of course)
              😄

                Success!!!
                The 'Add Coords-Tag by Dialog' tool now places LL-Tags perfectly.

                Yes.
                Still, no success with v1.7 when I try importing a CSV in LL/Z units.

                And …

                Only partial success importing a CSV in XYZ length units.
                I’m testing 'Import Coords-Tags from CSV' in XYZ length units with a simple CSV file.
                I shared the CSV file at Google Docs:

                https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AqR273kvdPGOdGhhWnJ6cTAyUDNZRExWYnc1YXk2emc&hl=en&authkey=CMLQqZYD

                In the image below: Only 7 tags were created from the CSV file containing 49 points.
                The 8th cords-tag you see in the image (at the origin) was placed prior to CSV import.

                http://lh5.ggpht.com/_pI3lDYnW_xk/TTxYx-GVdPI/AAAAAAAAD80/65FlXWz5zBk/ScreenShot112.jpg

                I’m fairly certain there is no problem is with the CSV file as I can import the file with the version of ‘Import Points Cloud’ script I’m running and all 49 points appear as in the image below.

                The points in the CSV file describe the vertices of a cylinder with 24 segments (48 points)
                The 49th point in the CSV file is at the origin [0,0,0]

                http://lh3.ggpht.com/_pI3lDYnW_xk/TTxYyKHaoWI/AAAAAAAAD84/pZjMRqUHWkQ/ScreenShot113.jpg

                I’ve been methodically trying different combinations of settings in the script settings dialog, to no avail.

                Perhaps if we (or is it just me who's fouled up) manage 'Import Coords-Tags from CSV' in simple XYZ length units to work, then we’ll (I'll) be able to figure out the process using XY=LL/Z=Feet. 😕

                Many thanks for your efforts, TIG.

                        v1.8 - Typos in Import-CSV fixed to allow -ve values, z=0 & no z.
                        I had some stupid code errors that meant that xyz values with any negative numbers were skipped and also they were getting skipped if z didn't exist or was 0 😒
                        Now all fixed... 😄

                        George - your CSV now works perfectly! two 24 point circles one above the other, and one cpoint at the origin - 49 in all...

                                    Is it possible to change at least one point coordinate to the real wgs84 coordinate? And after it all coordinates will be exported relative to this georefareted point??

                                        I rewrite the La/Lo value ("setting, than Add"). From the 0/0/0 onto the good value. But "Exportvertices2csv.new" takes the origin as former, as 0,0,0. Not example as 47,284395N, 19,042568E.

                                          Dear TIG - fantastic plugin - thank you.

                                          I was wondering if there was a way to customise what the label actually displays. In my application I would like to tag certain points with the elevation only. Even better if the label format could be customised - e.g. "RL 10.454 m".

                                          Regards

                                            Dear TIG - fantastic plugin - thank you.

                                            I was wondering if there was a way to customise what the label actually displays. In my application I would like to tag certain points with the elevation only. Even better if the label format could be customised - e.g. "RL 10.454 m".

                                            Regards

                                              There's my separate tool 'Add-Height-From-Datum' that does this ... http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=193238#p193238
                                              OR use setting 'XY' to '<None>' and 'Z' to 'feet' ['] makes the
                                              tag display as "Z: 1.234" [i.e. in 'feet'].
                                              IF it must say 'RL' then you might be better off getting the 'Height' tool and editing the code that .rb file using Notepad.exe so that
                                              txt="Height: "
                                              becomes
                                              txt="RL "
                                              🤓
