Error while importing airfoil by Airfoil DAT to Spline

Anonymous
Not applicable

From airfoiltools.com, I tried to input NACA 0012 Airfoils to my sketch. So I right-clicked the page and clicked on "Save Page As", and made the file .dat file. So the files are saved like this.

But when I try to import the dat file to fusion 360, it doesn't work. This is the error message.

I attatched a video to help your understanding, and my f3d file.

 

P.S. For those who want to insert it on your own, I am trying to put the airfoil at Plane 6 in the Tail component.

The plane must not be sloped.
This works only on rectangular planes.
Maybe @scorpio9999  can implement this.

 

Burt, I never set the profiles at an angle. This will distort the airfoil.

I did the same with the tail unit.
To loft the profile is set horizontally, and then cut off the lower part.
