Dear David and Stefan, The issue was that the PLY file of David has textures, which our read.ply function currently does not support. Resaving the file without the texture information made the file readable.
FYI Stefan, the original file read fine with your vsgImport function, but only when readcolor=FALSE. When TRUE, it crashed R.
