Switch off the camera and disconnect from the iPad. On iPad Review the models’ Windows, Mirrors, and Trims as they may shift position as the model grows. iPad Settings Login to office/home Wi-Fi Floors Choose whether to allow Cortex AI to detect the floors or keep floors as you have scanned them. Blurring Choose the…

Extend the tripod and centre column to the maximum height Adds data for the tops of tall objects. Used in Facilities to show pipework etc. Consider ‘money shots’ from the higher perspective

You must tell the App that there is a new floor – it is not automatic Note A mezzanine level belongs to the floor below Start to scan the stairs Shoot every three steps Move on to the new floor Add a floor – Icon bottom right Take the first scan on the new floor

Managing Exterior Data for Improved Processing, Dollhouse Accuracy and Point Cloud Outputs Overview The 2D Trim Tool in the Matterport Capture app for iPad is used to define the intended boundary of a model during capture. It is particularly valuable during exterior scanning where unwanted environmental data can increase processing time and reduce model quality.…
-
Mark mirrors at the first opportunity Failure to do so will put the reflected data into the adjoining space This will cause errors when scanning the adjoining area Any reflective surface is a mirror including microwave doors Build a set of mirrors around a 3D reflective surface
-
Mark windows and mirrors as soon as possible to optimise the quality of the model. Choose Windows and add one with the Plus sign. Runs of windows in a wall can be treated as one. Where there are doors in the glazing, do not mark if you wish to continue scanning the other side and…
-
Areas without data are black and featureless Areas with sufficient data show detail Black flecking indicated less scan density Scan behind counters, desks, furniture to create the optimum ‘Doll House’ effect These scans can be hidden in the edit
-
You must be able to see the previous scan point Choose a path that reflects the route a person would naturally take Scan every 8 or 9 feet -2 meters for a good virtual tour experience. Scans can be much further apart when for example you wish to connect two buildings on the one site.…
-
Capture must be continuous Generally, start at the entrance No jumping from area to area Doors Ensure doors you wish to travel through in the virtual tour are wedged open Use Stairs You must use stairs or ramps to go up or down a floor You can return to areas You may for instance scan…

Three levels of scanning: Standard Density takes <20s Suitable where the primary asset will be the virtual tour. Medium Density takes <45s Useful where a greater amount of data is required with a reasonable scan time. High Density takes <2 minutes Use when the primary purpose is the generation of an E57 point cloud file.…
