Hello. I'm working on a project that heavily relies on the CSV import geometry node in blender. But this node does not support relative pathing so as soon as any imput csv is moved, the absolute path is broken. Does this csv importer support relative pathing? If so, that would be great, as I am inexperienced in scripting blender myself.

Hi there! With this extension, once the CSV is drag'n'droped into the blender viewport, it will be embedded within the blender mesh, so there's no connection to the original data source anymore.

I assume you're using the new CSV Import node from Blender 4.5. It's not possible to use relative paths there, but you can use the string formatting node like this to have a bit more control on how to load the data: https://postimg.cc/hJ3BPF8h

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!

Can you describe more what you mean by "import section"? For me, the extension is shown in Preferences -> Add-ons. And this still works after a restart.

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?

I can confirm this is a bug in the latest version of the CSV Importer, caused by the new String processing feature. I just implemented a fix for it, and will probably release a new version tomorrow: https://github.com/kolibril13/blender_csv_import/pull/23

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

hi @ultramarinka, this is a bug in blender 4.3.0. Update to Blender 4.3.1 or 4.3.2 and it will work!

Amazing add-on! very good for survey csv points and mixing it with gis data. I should try to make a topography using this but currently don't know how, anyone knows?

hello even after updating to blender 4.3 (portable version) i still got the error message Extension bl_ext.blender_org.csv_importer is incompatible (This Python version (3.11) isn't compatible with (3.9)

hi @cgirolet, are you on Blender 4.3.0? If yes, try to upgrade to 4.3.1, as this issue got fixed in Blender 4.3.1: https://github.com/kolibril13/blender_csv_import/issues/1#issuecomment-2556657484 Let me know if that helped. If not, please let me know what system you're on.

Man from screenshots it look awesome but when i checked it's size it was (32MB). Don't know how to download.

There are two ways to download:

  1. In Blender, go to "Preferences" -> "Get Extensions" -> Search for CSV
  2. On this extension page, there is a blue button on the right called "Get Add-on". Click that that button, and then drag'n'drop the area into your local Blender window, this will also install the extension.

4.5
