Issue Description

Hello I'm trying to export a point cloud in C#. I'm using the point cloud code from the cookbook and the exporttoply() method, but when I run the code nothing is exported.
Hopefully someone can tell me how to achieve this.
Thanks in advance.

`
var pipe = new Pipeline();
var pc = new PointCloud();
pipe.Start();

                using (var frames = pipe.WaitForFrames())
                using (var depth = frames.DepthFrame)
                using (var color = frames.ColorFrame)
                using (var points = pc.Process(depth).As<Points>())
                {


                    // CopyVertices is extensible, any of these will do:
                    var vertices = new float[points.Count * 3];
                    // var vertices = new Intel.RealSense.Math.Vertex[points.Count];
                    // var vertices = new UnityEngine.Vector3[points.Count];
                    // var vertices = new System.Numerics.Vector3[points.Count]; // SIMD
                    // var vertices = new GlmSharp.vec3[points.Count];
                    //  var vertices = new byte[points.Count * 3 * sizeof(float)];
                    points.CopyVertices(vertices);

                                                             
                   points.ExportToPLY("pointcloud.ply", color);


                }

Hi @BJuraj Have you seen the adaptation of the C# cookbook point cloud for points.ExportToPly that is in the link below, please?

@MartyG-RealSense Thanks for the fast reply. The code from your link solved my problem.

Great to hear - thanks for the update :)

[BJuraj]

@MartyG-RealSense Sorry to reopen this issue again. Is it possible to get the point cloud without meshing?

[MartyG-RealSense]

I researched your follow-up question deeply. In C++ and Python you can set ply configuration options wit the save_to_ply processing block but I could not find a C# method for accessing it.

Ok. Thanks for your help.
