Point cloud file format

Sample point cloud file

0 0 0
1.4562 -7.2354 12.2367
5.9423 3.1728 -17.6439

For testing you can use this file, which is a low polygon version of the Stanford Bunny.

Scripting

The code below can be used to scale an imported point cloud. Select the point cloud and run the code, either by pasting it in the Python console, or by saving it as a macro and executing that macro. 

from PySide import QtWidgets
import FreeCAD as App
import FreeCADGui as Gui

def scale_points(obj, scale_x, scale_y, scale_z):
    mtx = App.Matrix()
    mtx.scale(scale_x, scale_y, scale_z)
    pts = obj.Points.copy()
    pts.transformGeometry(mtx)
    obj.Points = pts
    App.ActiveDocument.recompute()

if Gui.Selection.getSelection():
    obj = Gui.Selection.getSelection()[0]
    if obj.isDerivedFrom("Points::Feature"):
        scale, ok = QtWidgets.QInputDialog.getDouble(
            None,
            "Scale point cloud",
            "Scale:",
            value=1.0,
            decimals=6
        )
        if ok:
            scale_points(obj, scale, scale, scale)
