Default Importing 3D Curve problem (Updated)

[UPDATE] I was able to figure out the problem of the continuous line and get a correct arrangement of 3D curves (attached file). However, when trying to loft the curves it comes up with an error. Hoping someone can help!



I was hoping somebody would be able to help.

When i import the attached file (.csv format) the curves aren't treated as separate and instead joined up by one long spiral. The help file says that leaving a blank line between each 3D curve will do it but it hasn't

Here is what it looks like


Thanks!

!
Some CAD operations have an internal hard-coded distance limit equals to a box of side 1000\ m \times 1000\ m\times  1000\ m and that limit was preventing you to make the lofting of your curves.
If you scale your curves by 0.001, the lofting works (tried with the attached zip file in version 8.06).

Once you've created the geometric part you can then scale back to original size.

Thanks yannaos, I did guess that was the problem in the end and scaled the model down before importing it and then just scaled the mesh up.
