PLY — NaN Vertex Coordinates

A structurally perfect ASCII PLY in which one vertex reads `nan nan nan` — the value an exporter writes after dividing by a zero-length vector. The header, counts and face list are all correct, so the file parses; every bounding box, centroid and normal computed from it is then poisoned.

PLY — Signpost, +Y up (comment only)

The signpost as ASCII PLY with +Y up. PLY has no axis or unit element, so the convention survives only as a header comment that no parser reads — the reason scan data so often arrives rotated.

PNG — External glTF Base-colour Texture

The 64x64 two-colour checker referenced by the external-texture glTF in this group. Small, hard-edged and axis-aligned on purpose: UV seams, wrap mode and filter choices are all visible at a glance.

Point Cloud — Fibonacci Sphere (PLY)

A 1,200-point coloured point cloud arranged on a sphere via a Fibonacci lattice — a vertex-only PLY (no faces), the format scanners and LiDAR tools produce. Paired with a GLB (POINTS) twin, for testing point-cloud loaders.

STL — Signpost in Millimetres (the 3D-printing convention)

The signpost in millimetres as ASCII STL. STL has no unit field either, but every slicer assumes millimetres — which is why an STL exported in metres arrives as a 1 mm speck and one exported in inches arrives 25.4x too big.

An ASCII STL of the reference cube with two extra facets that have no area and declare a null (0 0 0) normal — exactly what CAD tessellators emit at a sliver. Slicers either drop them, warn, or divide by zero; this is how you find out which.
