          • ASCII File Data Import:<\/strong>\n
              \n
            • Reads tunnel coordinate data<\/strong> from an ASCII file.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Allows customization of delimiter<\/strong> (comma, semicolon, etc.) and comment characters<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Define column positions<\/strong> for X (Easting), Y (Northing), and Z (Height)<\/strong> data.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

              benefits:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

              This tool is highly effective for tunnel alignment modeling, underground construction planning, and geological mapping<\/strong>, providing an automated workflow for 3D tunnel visualization<\/strong> and analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
