MeshLab: How to import XYZRGB file

Question

When I import and XYZRGB (that I generate programatically), MeshLab renders the point-cloud, but the colors are missing. How can I assign textures/colors to vertices. I have tried "Vertex Attribute Transfer" but nothing happens.

Answer 1

Rename the extension .xyz to .txt. Then choose the x y z r g b option when importing the file. in meshlab
