CSV Importer
CSV Importer
A simple and fast CSV file importer.
How to Use
Option 1: Drag and drop your CSV file directly into Blender’s viewport.
Option 2: Use the menu: File → Import → CSV
Using the Data
The imported data will be stored in a mesh.
The mesh consists of only vertices, with no faces and no edges.
All vertices are placed at the same point: the Origin (0,0,0).
Each vertex contains attributes from the imported data.
The data will appear in Blender’s Spreadsheet Editor.
Use Geometry Nodes and the Named Attribute feature to set new vertex positions based on the imported data.
Find additional documentation in the Github README.

If you see this message: "Extension bl_ext.blender_org.csv_importer is incompatible (This Python version (3.11) isn't compatible with (3.9)" , then update to Blender4.3 and it should work.
What's New
0.1.9 May 14th, 2025
- Revert distributing points randomly in 3D space. This introduced extra data that causes confusion, so now it's back to stacking all points to the origin.
- Update to Python Polars 1.29.0 https://github.com/pola-rs/polars
- Update to databpy 0.0.18
Hi. This looks useful. Thank you for doing it. I have installed and activated the add-on, but it takes a long time to import any csv. At first, I thought that Blender froze, but I left it running for a few minutes and the data finally did import. That was using the sample data provided. It happens if I drag and drop the csv or import through file>import>csv. I'm running Blender 4.3.2. I've tried running a "repair" of Blender and reinstalling the addon, but the issue persists. Has anyone had this issue?
This looks extremely useful, but I'm having issues activating it: "Extension bl_ext.blender_org.csv_importer is incompatible (This Python version (3.11) isn't compatible with (3.9))". Any ideas how to fix this? I'm on Windows and Blender 4.3.0
Looks great but seem to have an issue in that: it installs and then is no longer visible in the import section upon restarting Blender? Am using V4.3.2. Any thoughts? Thanks!
