Louise(Barnes) 0 Report post Posted July 5, 2020 I received a 3D scan of the ship's hull from the project executor, but it turned out to be done with Artec Studio in PLY file format. Of course, this is my mistake when I did not specify in what extension the 3d model should be made. What can I do in this case? Is there any tool or plugin that allows me to import this format, or should I contact the executor to give me an IGES or STEP version? I am not a pro in this kind of questions, any help will be appreciated. Cheers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Heinrich von Zadow 12 Report post Posted July 21, 2020 Hi Louise, I am not familiar with this specific format. If you can get your hands on a IGES, STEP that would be very comfortable. An STL will also be good and I think it's more likely they have this available from a 3D scan. Otherwise you can check if maybe the PLY contains not much more than point coordinates anyways. In that case, you could write a feature to import the file on your own. Cheers, Heinrich Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
