I have ply format mesh in edit mode in blender. When I select some vertices , I need the x y z coordinates to be printed as output. Is it possible?

  • The mesh being imported from a PLY seems irrelevant to the question being asked. Perhaps the question should be How to print the XYZ coordinates of all selected vertices in edit-mode?

    Its also not clear if this is a single function you want to run, or if you want the select action to always print vertex locations.

As ideasman42 wrote in his comment, this will work for any mesh in edit mode, regardless of whether it was imported from PLY or any other format, or generated within Blender:

import bpy, bmesh

bm = bmesh.from_edit_mesh( bpy.context.object.data )
mw = bpy.context.object.matrix_world 

selected_verts_coordinates = [ mw * v.co for v in bm.verts if v.select ]

print( selected_verts_coordinates )

This will only work for selected vertices when the mesh is in edit mode.
