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.…
The model will not be correctly orientated on your iPad if this is not carried out, causing frustration and delays NORMAL METHOD Stand behind the tripod Two rubber legs towards you Bubble level at the back Point the camera in the direction you plan to travel FOR THE FIRST CAPTURE ONLY Rotate the camera 90°…
Overview Matterport provides two different methods of capturing environments. Understanding when to use each one is essential for producing efficient, professional digital twins. Although both capture imagery, they serve very different purposes and should be used appropriately during a project. 3D Scans A 3D Scan records both: The depth information enables Matterport to build the…
The intention is to show the building in the best way possible. The camera/scanner will see everything, there are no hiding places. This includes items placed under desks, on top of cabinets, behind furniture, especially things that have been there in plain sight so long that nobody notices them anymore. There is no facility to…
Where floor plans exist mark up your planned scan points prior to arrival This will allow a time estimate Number and location dependent on final purpose of capture On arrival walk through the entire building Plan to lock automatic doors open Check no people or animals present Switch on all lights Plan to open doors…
Replace the tedious and time consuming task of adjusting the tripod legs with our quick to use MatterLevel True verticals walls, doors and furniture appear upright. Accurate floor‑plan geometry and measurements. Seamless stitching, reducing misalignment and ghosting artefacts. Faster Capture saves time and money. Point Cloud Levels essential to get accurate grading analysis in Revit.
Multiple levels Scan inside the building first Build a strong core Straight Line Scanning Drunken Sailor Weaving from side to side triangulates the data and helps prevent the scanning going off to one side. Scan outside the building Chose vistas that take in other levels Scan outside the building Complete the exterior at that level…
The data points that the camera/scanner generates are referred to collectively as the Point Cloud. This collection of data can be downloaded as a file at an additional cost. The data can be imported into several software programmes used by architects, engineers, and construction professionals. The density of the data collected can be increased to…
