### About the output
96
+
AdTree outputs 3D models of the reconstructed branches (and also leaves) as triangle meshes
97
+
in the [OBJ format](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wavefront_.obj_file).
98
+
99
+
It also supports to output the reconstructed skeletons as generalized cylinders (i.e., the two endpoints of an edge have
100
+
different radii) in the [PLY format](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PLY_(file_format)). In this format, each branch is
101
+
represented by a sequence of generalized cylinders, and each vertex is associated with a `radius' property. Please note
102
+
that most tools (like CloudCompare and MeshLab) do not support this format. You can use [Mapple](https://github.com/LiangliangNan/Easy3D/releases/tag/v2.5.2) (or one of the example viewers in [Easy3D](https://github.com/LiangliangNan/Easy3D))
103
+
to visualize the exported skeletons (see an example visualization [here](https://github.com/tudelft3d/AdTree/issues/16#issuecomment-1410001785)).
