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 5 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
