PLYtiedostoiksi

PLYtiedostoiksi refers to the process of deserializing a file format used by the Bentley Systems' MicroStation computer-aided design (CAD) software. PLY files are not directly related to the MicroStation's "PLY" format. The PLY file format is a simple text-based file format used for storing 3D polygonal mesh information. It consists of a header section followed by the vertex data, face data, and other optional sections. This format is widely used in computer graphics and geometric modeling applications.

In the context of MicroStation's PLY file conversion, PLYtiedostoiksi involves using a specific tool or module, typically provided by Bentley Systems, to convert or transform other file types into the PLY format. However, the provided information does not give a clear definition or context, leaving the exact nature of this conversion process obscure.

It is worth noting that the term PLYtiedostoiksi seems to be a direct translation from Finnish, meaning "PLY to file" or similar. As the related tools and file formats are typically also available in English, it might be more common for users to work with the English names and tools. However, local language support can sometimes ease maintenance and interaction with CAD tools.
