I'm new to Vent Sim and I was wondering if I could get some help with the import tool. I'm trying to import a string line diagram that I believe was exported from deswick. The file is an .str but if I open it with a text editor I get something that looks like a csv file. I've copied a few lines from the file below.
In this instance, DEC stands for "Decline". I was wondering if anyone knew how to create layers as part of the import? I'm trying to assign the strings to a common layer called DEC. I thought it might be something simple like perhaps adding a heading row or dropping the "DEC" field into a different column, though no worries if it's not. Thanks in advance to anyone who may know and my apologies if the question is super basic, I'm new. Cheers
