I have a point cloud (XYZIRGB) that I opened in Meshlab to tidy up and remove some points.

When I come to export, I only have the option of XYZ. There are additional options, but the only available one is Normals on/off. I've tried with both, but no success in getting colours, as it remains grayed out.

Am I just missing a setting somewhere?

  • What is the extension of the file? Post first few lines from the file (including one or more vertex data) to show the content of the file. – Atekihcan Oct 23 '17 at 03:29

  • Atekihcan - reading the file isn't the issue. It was exporting the file. a simple X,Y,Z,R,G,B. The only export option they have doesn't include RGB values ehich is odd as they import it and display it so the info is in the file – El-d Oct 25 '17 at 13:30

You can export it as a .ply in ascii format (uncheck "binary encoding") and it will give you the option to export colors. The file will contain some header information though.
