PTX File Converter
We can't convert Point Cloud Text (PTX) files — here's what does work.
Why PTX can't be converted here
PTX is Leica Cyclone's own closed format. Its internal structure is proprietary, so no open-source library can read it — which is why no converter outside Leica Cyclone can open your file.
What does work: open the file in Leica Cyclone and export it as E57. We convert E57 reliably.

Point Cloud Text (PTX) is a 3D file format used primarily for 3D Scanning and Surveying.
PTX is Leica's scanner export format, storing point clouds in the scanner's native row/column grid order along with per-point intensity and often color, which preserves the original scan structure better than an unordered point list.
