To all the great plugin authors....

....would it be possible to have a plugin that can import a csv or txt file containing a point #, northing,easting (in state plane coordinates, with an option for navd27 and navd88),elevation, and description. I imagine I would have to geolocate the model first and the plugin would require some sort of converter to go from state plane to lat/long ? Thanks for any replies.

I'm not asking anyone to write this, at least not for free, just want to know if it's possible with ruby. Would like to take it a step further and have the linework connecting the points drawn automatically based on the description and a "lineworh code". Possible?, too much trouble? Should I just stick with Civil3D?

Hi, you might have more luck finding an answer if you post this on "Developers Forum" instead of the Plugins Section.

MikeExtracting cvs data is possible...Here is some links that I have found dealing with csv files;

https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/sketchupruby/0lowLezjshsI have seen some plugins that read cvs files...for example SimFonIA Anomation Tools can extract cvs values to use in the plugin.

MikeIf you extract points values I don't see why you can't make lines with them...not sure what you mean by "lineworth code".

Thanks for the reply. An example of linework code would be BC + and BC -, where BC is the description and the +/- are the linework codes telling the line to start or end here.
