[QUOTE="DAL Claxton, post: 313963, member: 22777"] Medit scanners can only export the .obj format. I've checked out the medit link scans I've done with the i500, and have a T500 that I just double checked the textured scans from ColLab. The .ply format can contain more information (like transparency, etc) but the .obj is a bit more universal. So probably for transparency and extra data information 3Shape suggests .ply, but it's also more data and size intensive, and takes longer to merge the scans. If 3Shape can actually import .obj's then I doubt they would want to let you see the color from it, or else you could just use another scanner. I can play around with our old 3shape system and see if I can find any way with 2019 to import a textured scan .obj or .ply. I'll let you guys know the result. [/QUOTE]
