<br>
I'm also really new to the VTK and generally to the software development<br>
with libraries.<br>
I have a question, that I already researched on, but I couldn't find<br>
pleasing answers and therefore I wanted to ask here:<br>
<br>
I want to make an application that can read STL files and point clouds.<br>
Importing the STL files is no problem, but for the point clouds it would be<br>
nice if I could import .pcd files, which is a file format from the<br>
PointCloudLibrary, if I'm right. <br>
Is there a way to convert .pcd files to .ply or .stl ?<br>
<br>
An answer on this topic by real vtk-users would be so helpful.<br>
<br>
Thank you.<br>
<br>
<br>
