Export one point per line as X, Y and Z, with XYZ already selected.
Convert the pavilion sample to XYZ. Each line in the downloaded text has three whitespace-separated numbers: X, Y and Z. There is no header or color column.
XYZ contains coordinates only. Colors, normals, intensity, classification and other attributes are omitted. Mesh faces and PLY list properties are not supported. Units are unchanged; no coordinate-system conversion is applied.
This XYZ export writes only three coordinate columns. Keep the source PLY, or choose PLY output, when you need supported colors and other attributes. Select a PLY asset to continue cropping or subsampling.
Files stay in a temporary 2-hour session. Switching tools in this tab keeps your uploaded clouds and results. Read about file privacy.
Each output line contains X, Y and Z separated by whitespace, with no header. Coordinates are written with twelve decimal places. Your destination application should read three numeric columns in that order; the decimal formatting does not increase source accuracy.
The file does not identify a unit or coordinate reference system. The numbers use the source coordinates without reprojection. Record the original units and reference system separately when you pass the XYZ file to another tool.
The XYZ result can be previewed and downloaded here, but cannot be used as the input for another operation. Select the original or another PLY result to continue cropping or subsampling.
| PLY data | XYZ output |
|---|---|
| X, Y, Z | Three coordinate columns |
| Red, green, blue | Omitted |
| Normals nx, ny, nz | Omitted |
| Intensity and classification | Omitted |
| Other properties and metadata | Omitted |
This tool accepts PLY point clouds without mesh faces or other nonempty elements. Export the vertices as a point cloud in your source application before uploading.
Text coordinates can require more bytes than binary PLY coordinates. XYZ is intended for simple coordinate exchange; it is not a compression format.
Follow tested settings, screenshots and measured results using the synthetic samples.
