I have a .ply file which I want to create a sort of viewer for in my PyQt5 GUI. Is there any tool that I can use that helps with that sort of thing? Or a separate viewer which I can integrate into my application and it just opens the file with the click of a button in my ui or something like that.

I know of the Open3d Library, but I dont know what I have to use in pyqt in order to display it in my application.

These couple lines of code will open up an interactive window to move my model around.

import open3d

bug = open3d.io.read_triangle_mesh("testModels/Buggy.ply")
open3d.visualization.draw_geometries([bug]) # Visualize the point cloud

I want to integrate that window inside my gui in some way. More generally I want a tool that would help me freely view a 3d model inside my PyQt5 application. Fairly new to PyQt so I can't even provide anything I tried as I don't know what PyQt offers in that realm.

For consuming 3D point cloud with Qt GUI, you need to use VTK library it has support for creating a widget and showing 3D point cloud in your app.
