David,

Geomorph only reads ASCII ply files (see man pages).  You could use MeshLab or 
some other reader to convert to ASCII ply first. Then it should be fine.

Subject: [MORPHMET] Error with read.ply in geomorph

Hello,

When I try to read a 3D surface file (ply ascii format) into geomorph, I get 
the following error:

"Error in dim(points) <- c(ncolpts, npoints) :
  dims [product 6426920] do not match the length of object [5784228]"

For what it's worth, length of object is exactly 90% of dims.

Does anyone have an idea where this problem is coming from and how to fix it? 
Note that the model opens without difficulty as a binary ply in Geomagic.

Thanks.

David Katz
