LoadPoint3DGrid

The operation loads an grid of points from a file in one of the standard 3D file formats. Currently the filter supports the following formats:

• STL (*.stl),
• PLY (*.ply).

PLY (Polygon File Format) also known as the Stanford Triangle Format is a format for storing graphical objects described as a collection of polygons. Both ASCII and binary (big-endian and little-endian) versions are supported. Please note that only vertex coordinates can be loaded. Other elements and properties are omitted.
STL (STereoLithography) is a file format commonly used in the stereolithography CAD software. Only binary STL is supported.

This filter can throw an exception to report error. Read how to deal with errors here: Error Handling
