SIMLAB STAGES desktop platform supports point cloud! Jedrzej 1 8 monthsJedrzej (311): STAGES desktop platform for AEC professionals supports point cloud! The latest update introduces support for .XYZ files. Within a single project, the point cloud can be synchronized and overlaid with other 3D file formats supported by the platform: .OBJ, .IFC, or .FBX, as well as 2D plans in .JPG or .PDF formats. The available edition options for .XYZ are: • opacity • point size • amount of points STAGES provides a centralized...

[R&D] Mashing up Google Earth, Matterport and 3DVista Tosolini 7 1 yearMeshImages (2649): @CharlesHH @Tosolini Yes, correct. I’m not sure about the 3D ripping from Google Earth, but I have successfully created 3D models from Google Earth Fly-Around videos in Agisoft Metashape photogrammetry software. If you then add the Google credit to the 3D, everything should be fine according to the Terms of Service of Google Earth Studio.

Land topographic Model??? Tools and Solutions? DigitalTwin 16 2 yearsEaglePrecision (289): I don't think the topics posted were relevant to the original question by DigitalTwin which was about using topography in CAD and 3D models. Surveying accuracy was not mentioned and is a more complicated topic to address. Survey-level accuracy is achievable with the providers that were previously mentioned: Pix4D, DroneDeploy, etc. but requires a deeper level of understanding of drone mapping and surveying. There are different approaches...

The exterior 3D model can then be linked to the interior 360 tour using annotations in Sketchfab.

How to import a FBX/OBJ file into 3DVista, or ...? DanSmigrod 4 3 yearsMarshallartsmedia (104): As Meshinages says there’s no way to import a 3D object directly. I work from sketchup so I bring them into that model and then export into Vray or Twinmotion depending on what output I need. There is no sign of 3Dvista being able to work in 3D space like metareal or matterport. it has been talked about for over 12 months and was due in Q3/2020 which has just finished. I have been asking (nagging) on the forum for weeks now but I can’t...

But the OBJ in MatterPak is a high resolution file and it is too big for a webpage display. The mesh showing in the Matterport showcase page is an optimized OBJ file with <50K faces and small textures. It is the one you can use in your webpage applications, but the file is in Matterport format named .dam file. You must decode it before you use it. JuMP team provide...

[R&D] A comparison of GeoCV and Matterport 3D OBJ files Tosolini 8 5 yearsConvrts (240): Home3D - we just used the OBJ from a HD GeoCV tour to create a model and it was much the same. Compared to creating the model from Matterport tours as he's done previously my mate (the one who's better at this stuff than me!) said he found it so much easier to work with. Thanks for the comparison Tossolini, really great!

HW reqs to run SketchUp with large MP objs PetraSoderling 12 5 yearsMontreal3D (202): @thor604 Suprisingly, while Quaddro card and xeon processor are sold to be the most efficient for CAD, the price difference is huge compared to the actual variation in processing time. Unless you are dedicated at CAD modeling and pushing the limit of a CAD software, investing into such graphic card is often a bad investment.

What CAD file types can be converted to .OBJ ...? DanSmigrod 4 6 yearsneeravbm (49): BIM is the same as intelligent BIM. There is no difference. By definition, BIM is supposed to be intelligent. :) BIM is very different from OBJ file though. OBJ file has a bunch of triangles that are used for rendering geometry on screen but there is no way to know whether a triangle belongs to a wall or a pipe, as an example. Hence OBJ file is not intelligent. BIM, on the other hand, is parametric. If you add a wall, it will add a wall object...

Am I missing something or is there no Floorplan Scale on the floorplans? Liam_Tayler 8 6 yearsLiam_Tayler (239): Hello all, Sorry for the radio silence, sick children! I had taken a measurement in workshop and from that calculated the scale, I was just surprised at how little use the .obj files actually are to architects, I thought they were meant to make their life easier. But it seems that without spending $750CAD and up to convert the obj files to Sketchup (essentially manually), that the matterpak is pretty limited in its usefulness for...

We are not Silent Lamb, we can have free OBJ JuMP 10 6 yearsMetroplex360 (9435): @mori I agree completely. Give out the 50k OBJ file and label it 'BASIC OBJ' - For hobbiests and enthusiasts. And then have 'PRO OBJ' with high resolution textures with the MatterPak. I believe that the people who want the OBJ files for recreational purposes are unlikely to purchase Matterpak and the people who actually want the 3D data will gladly pay.

mp2sqft.com - New interface... working? ArchimedStudio 6 7 yearsMetroplex360 (9435): MP2SQFT uses data that Matterport generated from the patched OBJ that is seen in showcase. The patched OBJ is the OBJ generated by the tour with areas that were missing data 'filled in'. JuMP uses the downloadable OBJ file without the patched data. That's why there's a discrepancy. I'm fairly confident that both JuMP and Matterport are calculating SQFT based on surface area of the OBJ files. If JuMP were to intercept the OBJ file used by...

Use Agisoft or Meshlab to create a cleaner OBJ file than the one available from the Matterport service. You can then use the OBJ in many different 3D modeling app. I saw a neat asset for the game engine Unity to do it with the HTC Vive in real time. Load your...

unique/personal links to 3d tours JTW_VR 8 7 yearsQueen_City_3D (3102): The hosting of spaces (hosting fees) is the real money-maker for a company like Matterport, so even if the technology evolves to where they no longer give support to new scans, I can't see why they'd ever give up hosting existing ones and getting that recurring revenue for as long as the scans are viewable on webpages or mobile devices.

Exporting Equirectangular Matterport George_WALKINTOUR 8 7 yearsgrmngrl (942): @Metroplex360 I can not understand how this can be legal. The 360 sphericals don't need to be hosted. And at the point in time when they where made available I do not have a choice but accepting the t&c. Could Nikon, Cannon etc just update their conditions and not give us the raw files either? I really think it was a bad choice from my side to buy the camera. I would not be so upset if Matterport would provide me with the service I...

Backing Up/Saving Scans Off of iPad danmorell 8 8 yearsdanmorell (73): @Metroplex360 - I would agree. Based on the terms of service it's a delicate dance of staying within the lines. I also need to stop fiddling and planning and start scanning lol. @Max_Sodomovskiy - I reviewed your method and it seems viable. Something I will have to hold my breath and test out to see how everything goes. I need to get a fresh iPad, take a test scan, complete the methods out that are being talked about and determine which works...
Point cloud to CAD Problems Invelop 3 8 yearsJoshReadhead (24): @Invelop Hi Stephen Sincere apologies for taking so long to reply. The process for importing the point cloud does vary depending on what version you have, but will attempt to troubleshoot as best I can. Judging by the error message, it sounds to me like you are trying to open the point cloud directly within AutoCad. For most AutoCad versions, the point cloud still needs to be imported (even though it's in the .rcs Autodesk format) while the...

OBJ file... ny360east 2 8 yearsron0987 (2713): One option on the obj file is convert it to PTS file which is a point cloud and any architect familiar with 3d CAD will know what to do with it. It is a great tool for as build's for builders and architects. It fall a little short on the accuracy but for as builds it is great, determining building concepts and general sizing it is great. Just one application. Ron

Customer wants tour file for forever use? EricThomas 5 8 yearsdavidpylyp (178): The model is not a model unless they keep paying a hosting fee. I tell customers that the model pricing works out to near $15.00 per month and is billed every 6 months for $90. There is an option the FLATTEN the model into a screen capture [but then it no longer functions] They can BUY that version for an EXTRA $[How Big was it / Time]

Will matterport ever become a designer tool? Dennis_N 8 8 yearsDennis_N (91): Well, if Matterport allowed some expansion to their software through 3rd parties, other companies would be able to do this. These expansions are called "plugins" and no software can thrive in a competitive market without them. It is totally fine if Matterport doesn't want to continue developing in any other direction. Just give power to other companies to expand their software toolset for a fee. I've bought a $3,000 design package in...
