Is there a way to convert from .nxz to .ply?

I'm just wondering if the nsxedit has a built-in way to convert from a .nxz file to a .ply or .stl, etc.

Thanks!

Yes, you can:

nxsedit input.nxs -p output.ply

You can extract not only the full resolution model but also a decimated model using:

--size

or

--triangles

or

--last

which just remove the last LOD thus approximately halving the number of triangles. The final model requires a bit of post processing because there will be a number of duplicated vertices.

I wonder why would you want to do that except for decimating very large models....
