I am archiving 3D images with .ply extension in omeka. Looking for advice on enabling universal viewer which displays images and 3D models in this format.

The implemented 3D format is a common one: Three.js (see http://threejs.org and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three.js ).
You can see an example of it here : http://universalviewer.io/examples/?manifest=http://files.universalviewer.io/manifests/nelis/ecorche.json.
How can i display this object in universal viewer. its not showing up in the universal viewer
You have to convert it into the ThreeJS format.
In the last release of the plugin (version 2.2.4), the display of 3D models is simplified. See https://github.com/Daniel-KM/UniversalViewer4Omeka#3d-models.
