Various 3D graphics polygon files (*.ply) can typically be exported to another common 3D objects format (*.obj) so they can be used in most of the 3D modeling software. This will only work with valid PLY files that contain 3D objects data.

The tables with software actions are a good pointer for what a certain program does with various file types and often may give users a good hint how to perform certain file conversion, for example the above-mentioned ply to obj. However, it is not perfect and sometimes can show results which are not really usable because of how certain programs work with files and the possible conversion is thus actually not possible at all.
