Right now you can only view one ply file per view, and switch through
them sequentially. It shouldn't be too hard to view multiple models at
once, iirc Max has done something like this. He is on this list, so
maybe he'll reply how to do it.


Best,

Stefan.

Hi,

When I needed to load multiple files at the same time (Power Plant
model)
I extended VertexData class such that it can add new vertices and
triangles
to existing data (add new vertices, triangles and correct values of
points
for triangles), so I would have one large model. This will hardly work
if
you can't fit all your ply files in to memory at once, so I think the
best
would be to extend model representation to be able to hold multiple
sub-models in a tree structure.


Best regards,

Maxim Makhinya
