Write a PLY (ASCII) File in MATLAB || TUTORIAL

Hopefully the video was clear. This should work for all structured 3D objects (NO point clouds). If you are a little more proficient with programming, you can save computing time and space with a more efficient FOR loop and removing the repeated nodes. The PLY file also allows you to store color and material data, which is something I am currently investigating.

All the geometries in the thumbnail were exported using the code in this video. If you want to learn how to generate 3D objects, check my playlist linked below.

code is running but the 3d builder is not able to open the file. it shows error code : I tried multiple times with other software too like paraview 3D print Cura Ultimakeker etc. PLEASE HELP ..
