Import external data (file formats)


To import data from third party formats. The formats are grouped by the way adjacency structure is preserved, so first select the structure of the data that must be imported. The following dialog allows to browse and filter the directories by file type. The “Files of type” combo box lists the available import filters. Since the format filters are based on a plug-in system, this list is extensible and depends on your software distribution. After the model structure is chosen, a dialog asks you which files would you like to import. Please filter the files by the desired format type. Multi selection is possible with shift and control keys.
