I have exported a usdz file from a CAD software. I am able to export almost every expected entities. While visualization in AR Quicklook I observed that I was not able to visualize line/curve entities. However while opening the exported usdz in X-Code I am able to see the lines and curves.
Similarly I also tested exporting some other file formats like .dae, .obj and .stl whose default previewing capabilities are present in Mac OS, but these formats were also incapable to show line entities.
Any ideas on this would be appreciated

Visualising edges/lines/curves/points etc is not the use case AR Quick look is intended for... generally this kind of detail is only necessary for CAD tools. AR Quick Look is augmenting the virtual content into real-physical spaces... thats why Physically-based rendering is supported, because Apple want the virtual assets to look as realistic as possible so they blend into the environment with dynamic shadows, real-time environmental reflections and object occlusion etc.
