This may not be the correct forum, but I have a question about 3D point cloud files and not sure where to ask it.

I have a massive (6GB) PLY file and I can't find an editor to view it. I tried meshlab but the program promptly crashes.. I don't even get to view the contents.

Does anyone know of a Mac viewer that will enable me to view the data? Anyone know of a decimating software that will reduce the total point count?

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Not sure....

if this can work with your particular file, but I had heard good things about CloudCompare:

Maybe the link is worth a look. I have the understanding this software can read PLY files and exists an executable for OS X.....


Hope that helps....
