Thanks again, Emma.

 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.

  Hi David,
 You can use either vcgImport from Rvcg or file2mesh from Morpho (which
 is basically the same) to import all kinds of meshes (stl, obj, ply) binary
 and ascii into an object of class mesh3d

 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.

Hi Emma,
which version of Rvcg did you use?
could you send me the file for debugging?
I have tested the function with a variety of textured files without
issues (at least no R crashes).
in case your file is not a png and/or split into multiple images, you
should get a message stating:

please convert texture images to png format
only single texture files supported, only first one stored

and if that is the case, when rendering with rgl you will get a warning:

Warning message:
In rgl.material(...) :
  RGL: Pixmap load: unable to open file 'Desktop/smilla1_0.png' for reading
