# Tips and Tools : Import XYZ points into Maya

1. Select **imp** from the XROMM toolshelf in Maya.
2. Browse to File 
   1. If  you are checking Marker Tracking (i. e. Digitizing), select the \[Your prefix]xyzpts.csv file that was generated from marker tracking.
   2. If you are checking Calibration, select the framspec.csv file for the type of cube you used. This file contains the known locations of the beads in the cube. If you don't have this file, it can be downloaded. 
3. Select **xyz Translation** under Data Type, depending on the version you have.
4. Select **new sphere** under Object Options, depending on the version you have.
5. You can change New Object Scale to something smaller to make sure the markers in the Xray Image will show up behind the imported points. (e. g. 0.5 or 0.1)
6. If you are importing unmoving markers (such as for checking Calibration), **uncheck** Rows are Time Series. Otherwise leave it checked.
7. Other options usually stay as defaulted:
   1. type **global**
   2. **column headers in row** 1
   3. transformation type between rows **absolute**
   4. New object name prefix from: **custom (obj)**
8. Click **Import**
9. Close the window

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://gitbook.brown.edu/xromm/tips-and-tools/xromm-import-xyz-points-into-maya.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
