Line Clouds

I have a project that generates (millions of) 3D polylines, which I would like to be able to visualize with CC.
What options exist for importing polylines? Due to the large data volume, a binary format would be best.
I can export the points in binary .ply format, and could add point sequence data if there is a way to make CC understand them.

Polylines can only be imported from .poly (ASCII), .shp (binary but complex) or .dxf (ASCII and super complex). I would still use .poly as they are extremely simple.
