Layout > Import Text file
Overview of Functions
This function creates layout by importing layout in neutral formats.
Based on the information in the neutral format, alignments can be created and libraries are assigned to the generated alignment to create the finished structural model.
However, libraries included in the text file should be defined in advance using modeling functions such as Create, Import, etc.. in midasCIM.
The following data is applied in a unit of the bundle for each layout.
