            If you watch the first video you will see you need a SketchUp Labs extension to try it out.

              OK, got that app but the file is reported as having no splat contained. Talking about the tramway model.

                The PLY file is a point cloud not a 3DGS gaussian splat.

                If this was a true gaussian splat file it would be much larger than 7.1mb

                    Yep, that point cloud had colour data applied to points.

                      I guess Joke has his answer either way.

                        importing to meshlab works for me as well, but the import to sktechup makes a crash.
