Hi I would appreciate if any of you could advise me how I can read a ply file.
When I import the ply file I obtain a Ply File Open information screen which shows the following
Elements = 1 Properties = 8. Textures = 0
Point X = vertex - x [PLY-FLOAT]
Point Y = vertex - y [PLY-FLOAT]
Point Z = vertex - z [PLY-FLOAT]
Red = None
Green = None
Blue = None
Intensity = None
Nx = None
Ny = None
Nz = None
Faces = face-vertex_index [PLY_LIST]
Texture coordinates = None
Texture index = None
Scalar = None.
I would greatly appreciate if you could inform me what I must indicate in each case where I have None
Many thanks

Re: reading ply files
Ah if you have 'none', it probably means that there's no filed in the file. That's not a big deal, you can click on CC and it will load what it can ;)
However, if you know that there should be some RGB information in the file (for instance), then you can look at the drop down list next to Red, Green and Blue, and see if there's a filed that could correspond to that in the file.
