after installing the open3d in conda, it doesn't work in the code

[fullcyxuc]

install the open3d following the official instruction with ‘conda install -c open3d-admin open3d’, however i meet some errors when run the code like 'module 'open3d' has no attribute 'read_point_cloud''.
other ways to install it has been tried and it still doesn't work.

my python version is 3.6.5

This is because the code was written for an older version of Open3D. In newer versions, read_point_cloud is an attribute of open3d.io, instead of open3d. Use open3d.io.read_point_cloud() instead. You might have to change other parts of the code too since there were quite a few changes in the newer version of Open3D.

Is it possible to target a specific version of open3d so the code in this repo will work?

[ytyfeng]

In open3d_build.cmake, you can target a specific version of open3d by changing the git tag to a version you want.
