Addon for import of Gwyddion Scanning Probe Microscopy images

Dear all.

I just committed an addon, which permits importing Gwyddion (gwyddion.net) Scanning Probe Microscopy images into Blender.
Note that this is a very first version, which still needs some improvements! For instance, the loading of the images needs to be improved since it is a bit slow. On the contrary, it seems to be quite stable … well at least with my AFM images, which I have created with the latest Gwyddion version 2.26.

The Wiki page, which I will finish by time, can be found here: Wiki
The tracker is here: Tracker

The addon can be downloaded from here, Download, and can be installed as follows:

  • Download the file ‘io_mesh_gwyddion.zip’ (Do not unzip)
  • Go to Menu: File -> User Preferences … -> Addons (top)
  • At the bottom, push Install addon and choose the downloaded file
  • Activate the addon (check box, right) and apply ‘Save as Default’ if you want the addon to be active after each start of Blender.

The thread can be used to discuss the addon. Any comments are highly acknowledged.

Hi,

I tried to install it by following the instructions but as soon as I hit on the zip file it says there is an error.
“Multiple addons using the same name found!
likely a problem with the scropt search path.
(see console for details)”

Do you have any idea of how to solve this problem?

Also what kind of files does it support? .STP by any chance?

Many thanks in advanced! Cheers

Hi.

I have a problem when I try to install it. As soon as I click on the zip file it says.

Can you help me please?
Also does it support .STP files for importing them?
