Without being familiar with 3D modle formats, I'd say someone would need to give the point of view from the libraries that use these files. I'm thinking of: * [Rviz](https://github.com/ros-visualization/rviz). Haven't found much. * [Gazebo](http://gazebosim.org/tutorials?tut=import_mesh). Their tutorial just talks about exporting to .dae/ * Collision computation libraries like [fcl](https://github.com/flexible-collision-library/fcl) which I believe is used in MoveIt. If they already have support for it, sounds great! If they don't, a newer version of URDF should at the same time support these big players I guess. --- [Visit Topic](https://discourse.ros.org/t/support-the-ply-geometry-format-in-urdf/4325/2) or reply to this email to respond.
