In Sim4Life GUI-->Import, there is a .txt file format called "outline file files". Can this one be used to import a polyline?
I have polylines defined like a list of points:
x1,y1,z1 x2,y2,y2 .... xn,yn,zn
I know this can be done using the Python API, but I was trying to find a way to do it via the GUI.
You would have to define the polylines in a supported file format, e.g. VTK.
To create such a file from Python, you could do something like this:
import vtk # define points x1,y1,z1, etc. # add the actual points points = vtk.vtkPoints() points.InsertNextPoint(x1,y1,z1) points.InsertNextPoint(x2,y2,z2) points.InsertNextPoint(x3,y3,z3) # define the lines lines = vtk.vtkCellArray() lines.InsertNextCell(3) # next line is composed of 3 vertices lines.InsertCellPoint(0) # vertex 1 lines.InsertCellPoint(1) # vertex 2 lines.InsertCellPoint(2) # vertex 3 # assemble as surface mesh mesh = vtk.vtkPolyData() mesh.SetPoints(points) mesh.SetLines(lines) # write to file, supported by Sim4Life, Paraview, etc. writer = vtk.vtkDataSetWriter() writer.SetInputData(mesh) writer.SetFileName(r"E:\temp\Foo.vtk") writer.Write()
