Importing objects from 5DC files
<5DC> format allows loading a splines as a set of points(xyzijk). The main features:
maintained only text format UTF-8 encoded
allows to contain multiple splines: as a separator, use the symbol ";" (semicolon) on a new line. After the symbol, you can specify the name of the curve.
minimum number of spline points(lines) should not be less than 2
the first line of the file instead of dots may contain settings
If the first line of the file does not contain any settings, then for each line including the first one:
coordinate numbers are separated by a space
point is provided as 6 numbers: "X Y Z NX NY NZ", when (X,Y,Z) - coordinates of a point , (NX,NY,NZ) - normal vector
If the first line of the file contains the settings, then for each line except the first one:
the number of coordinates is separated by the separator specified in the settings line
the point is represented as multiple numbers, according to the format specified in the settings line
If the settings line is set, it must contain three mandatory parameters and may contain six optional parameters. The parameters should be separated by a space.
Mandatory parameters:
