PyVista Quick Look
Press the space bar on a mesh file in the Finder and turn it with the mouse, the same
way macOS already previews .ply and .obj models. Over 80 formats PyVista reads are
claimed, each shown coloured by its active scalars with a panel of what the dataset holds
beside it.
Install
macOS 15 or newer. Nothing else needs to be installed first.
curl -LsSf https://github.com/pyvista/pyvista-quicklook/releases/latest/download/install.sh | sh
Then select a .vtu, .vtp, or .vtk file in the Finder and press space.
A preview is for a quick look, not for measuring: a large surface may be thinned and a volume cut into slices, while the dataset panel describes the file itself.
