# Importing .txt

Unlike all the other formats, .txt files can be in many different formats (i.e., .yxz instead of .xyz). To accommodate this, a flexible import dialog appears when Cyclone REGISTER 360 PLUS detects a .txt file.

The below video explains the options for text file import.

There are three options when importing a .txt file:

1. [Import as Control with default Cyclone REGISTER 360 PLUS formatting](/v1/docs/cyclone-register-360-import-as-control-with-default-cyclone-register-360-plus-fo)
2. [Import as Control with user-specified import formatting](/v1/docs/cyclone-register-360-import-as-control-with-user-specified-import-formatting)
3. [Import point cloud as .txt](/v1/docs/cyclone-register-360-import-point-cloud-as-txt)
