The Import Align Combine panel is used to cut'n'paste pieces of mesh within or between PLY files.
Import 
Load in another PLY file as a separate object. Fig 2 shows the different coloring applied when multiple objects are loaded. As you can see, its possible to have many meshes loaded, but only the 2nd "red" object can be moved around or sculpted. To avoid confusion, its recommended that you only work with 2 objects at a time, that is, the 1st "white" mesh and the 2nd "red" mesh.
Replace 
If two meshes are loaded, a file selection window pops up, and the PLY selected will replace the 2nd mesh. If three meshes are loaded, the 2nd is deleted and the 3rd is moved into that position. This tool is normally used to substitute a hirez mesh for a decimated copy that has already been positioned in the scene.
Cut 
Removes <G> key marked faces from the 1st object and puts them into a new object at the end of the list.
Copy 
Copies <G> key marked faces into a new object.
Roll 
Changes the object ordering by one step. If there's only 2 objects, this swaps the 1st and 2nd objects around.
Paste 
Copies the faces in the 2nd object into the 1st object, then deletes the 2nd object.
Blend 
Smoothly blends in faces in all the other objects, then deletes them.  [more words here] 
Delete 
Delete all other objects, leaving just the 1st object.
