    form.setGeometry(100, 100, 600, 500)
    form.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

No problem, the blub function is just a placeholder to keep the eventloop running, it should work now.

not working on mac or linux, if use hwnd = widget.winId() working partially

I want to press btn to add another geometry, but run() will block the current thread. So I didn't succeed, Do you know how to solve it, thank you very much!

Overriding the closeEvent of your MainWindow could fix your Error on Exit

def closeEvent(self, event):
    self.vis.destroy_window()
    self.thread.quit()
    event.accept()

yes, this works 👍

And you can add visible=False as parameter to self.vis.create_window(visible=False) to get rid of the open3D window flash on startup.

I have the same problem, did you find the solution yet?

Thanks for your help.

Could anyone hint me on how this code could be changed to visualize a .OBJ or .PLY file with texture? (still using VisualizerWithEditing() within a Qt widget)
Here is what I have been able to achieve (and not):

• using o3d.io.read_triangle_mesh() on a .PLY file instead of o3d.io.read_point_cloud() for a .PCD brings the object with texture in the visualizer, but then clicking does not do anything.

• using o3d.io.read_triangle_mesh() on a .OBJ brings the object but does not load the texture, and again clicking does not do anything.

• using o3d.io.read_triangle_model() yields an error as self.vis.add_geometry() does not support "triangle_model" object type. self.vis Class only has add_geometry(), and does not support add_model() as some other open3d classes have.

I am thinking about finding a way to convert the OBJ or PLY object to a point-cloud (with texture) in open3d and then loading it into the visualizer as a workaround if no other way exists (and need to figure out how to perform that conversion).
[Edit] I converted a textured mesh (.PLY) to point-count simply with the following:
filepath1 = 'my_filepath_to_my_ply_file'
obj1 = o3d.io.read_triangle_mesh(filepath1)
pcd = o3d.geometry.PointCloud()
pcd.points = obj1.vertices
pcd.colors = obj1.vertex_colors
pcd.normals = obj1.vertex_normals
It is not ideal as clicking between points results in "no click", or may hit a point located on a face behind the intended face.
It also seems that VisualizerWithEditing() ignores further add_geometry() calls, so it is not possible to have more than one object in the visualizer.

I am thinking it may then be best to use the standard open3d visualizer and use ray_casting to identify the location where the user clicked.

Anyone tried doing that?

I solved it by using open3d.visualization.Visualizer() instead of self.vis = o3d.visualization.VisualizerWithEditing()
VisualizerWithEditing() can only render one geometry at a time even though you succeeded in adding it whereas Visualizer can only render more than one geometry.
