XYZ File Import Generates Empty Feature Class

LenDesson

I have several .xyz files I am trying to import to a feature class.  When I use the ASCII 3D to Feature Class tool the output feature class is empty.  The input file definitely has data in it.

Hi Len,

If you look at the online help there is an example of the format you can use for the tool:
http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.2/index.html#//00q900000041000000

If you attach a file you're trying to convert (or a small part of a file) we can have a look at what might be wrong.
Please write the settings you have used to import the data too, especially:
- input file format (XYZ, XYZI or GENERATE)
- output feature class type (MULTPOINT, POINT, POLYLINE or POLYGON)
- decimal separator (DECIMAL_POINT or DECIMAL_COMMA)

Kind regards,

Xander
