What method are you using to import - AGS or GEOL/HOLE.csv?

When I try yo download them they get saved as GEOL_0.csv and HOLE_0.csv which won't work.

Rename them to the correct names i.e. GEOL.csv and HOLE.csv

I'm suspecting a mismatch between the two files. One file doesn't match the other.

 

Try my sample files - they import ok.

Hi,

 

I have same problem. Fresh Civil 3D 2014 installation. Have tried both csv -files (from Keynetix and also Eric's offered) but no luck. Same window and when accepting it just not doing anything

I also encountered the error this week. I restarted C3D and was ok after the restart.

No help, still gives error.... any idea does this have some thing to do with unstabilitys of geo module?

Not really sure - sometime the error messages are not helpful at all.

Probably worth checking the source csv files in Excel to ensure all the fields are present and correct and that all the holes referenced in GEOL are present in HOLE (and vice versa).

If that all checks out then it's got me beaten....

magnus.svensson, What do you mean by "Change Your regional settings from comma , to point . during import." where would I change these settings? Im getting the "object not set..." error as soon as I select the import button. I don't even get to the Data Files Dialog Box. Any Help is greatly qappriciated
At your service,

You can set the delimiter (space, comma etc.) for the csv files when (and if) you get to the first dialog box

I had the same error and was convinced I also had a bad install... Until I realised that the values that I was using for my northing, easting and ground levels still had the units in them (i.e. "m"). This is how they were imported from the points directly in C3D, so initially I hadn't thought to check them.

 

So this could be your problem as well. Just check the Keynetix website for examples of the GEOL.csv and HOLE.csv files and make sure yours comply.
