I am not sure what you mean Meshlab opens, but not displays it. Do you actually see information about your model in meshlab? If you see information about your model, it opened it. Perhaps faces are inverted. I have seen proprietary software (such as 3DMD) not exporting ply/stl properly from their own format.
If you can’t open it with Meshlab, chances are good that your model is misconstructed. I don’t think it is anything to do laser vs photogrammetry.

I tried saving it both with and without texture -- neither worked. I also tried saving it as an obj file, and it also doesn't open. Meshlap seems to read the files, but just never opens them. I was wondering if anyone else using Morpheus has tried working with ply files made with photogrammetry (rather than laser scanning).

The scripts provide for more memory. but more likely... 2) Some programs create .ply files that are somehow indigestible by Morpheus. Open the file in Meshlab and (re)save it (binary or ascii doesn't matter). That might clear up any problems. -ds On 10/28/16 1:37 PM, Gabriel Wrobel wrote: > Hi all.
