I tried that one to reduce the mesh and it doubbled it 8-)

and system crashes as well

I didn't do anything to the file other than put it through the link Rich provided and the file imported properly for me, so great tip! Thank you.

Not come across these, what are they for and how are they integrated?

[jo-ke]

could anybody try to import my model:

a scan of a tramway:

I can scan an object and this app makes it possible to import it to sketchup

@jo-ke

Thanks mate, pardon my ignorance.

Just downloaded the scan, what is the process to import to Sketchup please?

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.

[Rich O Brien]

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

[Mike Amos]

Meshlab which I had forgot I had.

[Rich O Brien]

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

I guess Joke has his answer either way.
