Dear Viviana If I remember correctly, you need to export, rather than save, your file to get a ply. I think there are some extra steps you need to take so that the ply doesn't come out colorless (something to do with the vertices I think), but like I said, I forgot the details and I don't have easy access to geomagic at the moment. Just keep fiddling with it. Good luck!

But that is a good start. I assume there is a Geomagic setting to generate the file I am missing so I will keep on trying. Luckily in the lab I currently am there is Geomagic... a freware option for everyone would always be great!
