ASCII EXPORT - Only X,Y,Z

Hi Daniel,

Would it be possible to add an ASCII EXPORT option to export only ASCII "XYZ" variables?

This is for import into software that only uses those 3 variables (like Engineering software).
With the current ASCII Export, I have to take the output file, break it into smaller files that Excel will accept (even the current version is limited to 1 million points), then cull the other variables so only XYZ remains. Then rejoin all the files to create a single XYZ for import.

It'd be GREATLY appreciated... :)
Thanks for listening...
JoeK

I do it like that.
I remove all the scalar, color, normal, etc. fields from the cloud. Then I export it as ASCII, since it does not have, CE, RGB, or normal, it only exports X,Y,Z.
Regards
