&lt;p&gt;You should be able to&amp;nbsp;attach an .e57 format file using the Point Cloud tools in MicroStation CONNECT Edition.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://docs.bentley.com/LiveContent/web/MicroStation%20Help-v23/en/PointClouds.html"&gt;Point Clouds Dialog&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As for the .ply format, you might need to use the Context Capture software to import or attach these type of files.&lt;/p&gt;
