Better is convert "PLY" files to another 3d graphics file like: ("STL","OBJ") ,that Mathematica recognizes correctly.

Yes, this is my problem too, that the values seem to be wrong (although both the data and the file is presented fine in other software like Meshlab). Looks like for some reason Mathematica reads the vertexData incorrectly. Maybe some kind of transformation will help? This also apply to the vertexNormals values.

Fails on 13.0.1 for Mac OS X ARM (64-bit) (January 28, 2022) with the same message. However, this works.

Import["~/Downloads/fused.ply", "Summary"]
Import["~/Downloads/fused.ply", "VertexData"]

The vertex data values do not look right, the range of values is very large and some values are Indeterminate.

I tried and for 2 examples in Mathematica 13.0 give me: $Failed("Cannot import data as PLY format")

Hi Mariusz Thanks for your swift response :-) You can find 2 examples through this link: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/lhmgusns8xt6t6u/AADZkmuSbYI692iFwAjcxpQQa?dl=0

If it works I'll just upgrade my Mathematica. Cheers, Ehud
