  Hi SpaceClaim Support Team
  
  I would like to array a sphere solid via an imported point cloud in SpaceClaim.
  
  Please have a look to the screenshot attached. Some years ago I found a way to do that via a macro in Solidworks. Now I want to do this operation in SpaceClaim. Do you have any idea how to import a pointcloud (CSV file) and array then a sphere body, so that at each point of the pointcloud one sphere is placed automaticly.
  
  With a few points this could be done by hand, but if there are hundreds of points it would be a bit difficult.
  
  Thank you for help!
  
  Best regards
  
  Alex

  Hi Subashni
  
  This is exactly what I was looking for works perfect!
  
  That's great what's possible with the script functionality - I should take a deep dive to that.
