I have a PLY file that looks like this  
 ![Selection_297](https://discourse.vtk.org/uploads/default/original/2X/c/c98ac5cb440243f425ac904c650598adbf766951.png)

I need to be able to edit the file.  
Basically, I need to pick any of the points and drag it

Is it possible to do this with the vtk.js library?

I am not sure this will work with PLY, maybe you should try OBJ([OBJReader](https://kitware.github.io/vtk-js/examples/OBJReader.html)) where you can define multiple objects then you will be able to pick and drag them.
