PLY files can be loaded into PlyEdit in a few different ways:
  1. Right click on the PLY file and select "Edit with PlyEdit".
  2. Drag'n'drop the PLY file onto the headus desktop icon.
  3. Run "plyedit file.ply" from a command shell window.
  4. If PlyEdit is already running, use the Mesh arrow button.
Mesh 
Click on the right arrow to open up a file selection dialog. If a mesh is already being edited, loading a new PLY file will replace that mesh. If you wish to add a PLY into the mesh being edited, use the Import Align Combine tools instead.
Clicking on the Mesh button itself will open up a panel showing various details about the loaded file:
F 
Number of faces.
P 
Number of points.
Cntr 
XYZ position in millimeters of the center of mesh.
Size 
Bounding box size in millimeters of the mesh.
A 
Total area of the mesh surface.
V 
Total volume of the mesh if there are no holes.
