@DomenicoLoricchio Good job!

I am updating the extension UI, on this branch:

#5549

I can apply it to your new extension once it is ready to be reviewed.

Please do not miss to add tests and also the corresponding documentation :)

@DomenicoLoricchio The "pip" key in the toml file is not for installing new dependencies.

You should add it to the pyaedt dependencies, but we are trying to minimize the PyAEDT dependencies.

Did you check if pyvista has a similar visualization mode?

@Samuelopez-ansys open3d is not only used for the visualization but also for the generation of the cloud starting from the obj.

Is it possible to use something like that:

try:
import open3d as o3d
except ModuleNotFoundError:
import subprocess
import sys
print("open3d is not installed. Installing it now...")
subprocess.check_call([sys.executable, "-m", "pip", "install", "open3d"])
print("open3d has been successfully installed!")
import open3d as o3d

subprocess and sys are both modules of the standard python library.
with this code only the users interested in this extension will install open3D
