as the names says... it imports PLY-files (ascii/binary, big & lil endian)  here you find some files to import:  The Stanford 3D Scanning Repository  Large Geometric Models Archive
	file content import normals import vertex colors import texture coordinates import materials replace or add to scene name of imported object flip axis, (Z is up) center pivot, or it will be at [0,0,0] scale imported object generate normals (overwrite existing)
	PLY-files can be huge, don't blame me if Max runs out of memory and quits :)
