Good day,

I have a gpx file containing x,y,z information. I converted this to a CSV file in QGIS and then exported that to excel and turned it into a txt file from their. When I import the txt file, the generated point cloud is just a straight line. Is their a way to fix this? I have added an exsample of the txt file information.

X Y Z ele
30.933770008 -20.272672075 1129.581 1129.581

Any help would be appreciated as I seem to have this problem routinly and can't find away around it.

I guess it's because the coordinates are not cartesian? I guess X and Y are angular values, and Z is in metric coordinates?

CC doesn't manage this kind of projection. Only cartesian coordinates.
