# Free Format CSV Files

You add a free format comma separated values (CSV) file that represents a model to a scenario in GEOVIA MineSched by clicking Add in the Models pane.

To use a CSV file to represent a model, the model must contain information on block coordinates, material classes, quality attributes, volume, and mass. The first row of the CSV file must contain column titles which you use to assign the columns in the Model Detail pane.

### Fields on the Model Detail Pane for Free Format CSV Files

Field | Description
--- | ---
Name | The name by which you refer to the model in MineSched. The name is automatically populated from the file name. If you want to change the name, type a new name in this field. Note: Reserved words cannot be used for the model Name. If the file name of the model is a reserved word, "_1" is appended to the automatically populated model name. If you type a reserved word for the Name, a warning message appears and the name reverts to the previous name.
File name | Automatically populated with the file location of the CSV file you added.
X column | The heading of the column in the CSV file that contains the X coordinate values.
Y column | The heading of the column in the CSV file that contains the Y coordinate values.
Z column | The heading of the column in the CSV file that contains the Z coordinate values.
Material column | The heading of the column in the CSV file that contains the material class.
Volume column | The heading of the column in the CSV file that contains the volume values.
Mass column | The heading of the column in the CSV file that contains the mass values.
Volume adjustment column | The heading of the column in the CSV file that contains the volume adjustment values, which act as multiplier on the volume of the blocks in the model. Note: If the model does not have a volume adjustment factor, leave this field blank.
