So I believe the issue is on the cinema 4d side of things. They are not reading our extra attributes because we do export this stuff. If you can send us a point cloud exported from cinema 4d that has this info we can compare the structures to see where the issue is. Maybe an easy solution would be a python script to convert from Crate style alembic to Cinema 4d style alembic once we know the difference regarding the extra attributes.
