Walls plumb and the floor level?

BlueImmersiveMedia

2

1 yearthorn604 (58): Yes - but as Matterport states, to within only +/- 1%. Using workshop, you could take multiple linear measurements along the floor/wall and note any change in the resulting dimensions. Or download the Matterpak and import the .xyz into Recap (or similar software) giving you some more tools to analyze the model with. However, in my opinion, the BLK360 and Recap (or Cyclone) would be a much better tool for this purpose. Hope that helps.

You can compare the difference between HDR2 and HDR off in the corner of the yard where I scanned by the deck chair and behind the deck char.

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.
