I know that there is probably a greater chance that I could find a way export the sheet as CSV data, and then bring in the data that way possibly by writing a converter to sort the data into a collection or something, but I’m really looking for some way to have the sheet drive the elements in the scene. Essentially I’d prefer the sheet to be linked rather than imported so the data can be easily replaced or updated. The idea is to use the app to create a “3D Chart” driven by the sheet content. I realize that it’s probably a reach with Soft but thought maybe Houdini might have other options. I’m also looking at Unity as well, with the assets created in Soft, Maya, or Houdini. I want the spreadsheet to be more a reference than an import however, with the cell content used to drive chart elements such as text, element position in space, or other characteristics. Has anyone here ever done something like that? Soft, Houdini, and Unity are the primary platforms being considered. -- Joey Ponthieux LaRC Information Technology Enhanced Services (LITES II) Science Systems and Applications Inc.
