And again, an industry game changer which will require rethinking of sales models, even for MP. Once the outcome of such a capture provides reliable quality every single time, we have reached mainstream. 2 years max I feel.

9 monthsbriangreul (633): I generally will do at least one overlapping scan. Sometimes I'll do 2 or 3, just depends on how squirrely the space is. I will also sometimes force close the app and reboot the camera to make it start over with alignment. The alignment algorithm seems to be weighted to the last 3 to 5 scans. There are sometimes good reasons to jump around with large spaces, especially when coming around the core of a building.

Question of the Day>Pro2 to scan 5,000 SQ FT an hour of construction site?

11 monthsDanSmigrod (25860): @Oboldyrev @lilnitsch @briangreul Thanks for sharing. Seems like while it may be possible to scan an open commercial space at the rate of 5,000 SQ FT in an hour, I wonder if this is the exception rather than the norm: particularly for the space that Matterport shows when they make the claim of 5,000 SQ FT an hour. I wish Matterport would provide a real-time video of 5,000 SQ FT shot in an hour using a Pro2 so that we can see the...

Ricoh Theta Z1 versus Matterport Pro2 3D Camera for Outdoor scans?

Paulo

1 yearWingman (2236): I cannot comment on using a Z1 with Matterport. I have just never seen any reason to do it since I have a Pro2. As for using it to capture a 360 I believe the further you are from objects the more chance you have to make a 360 without any stitching errors. It is better to stay at least 50cm away from any object and that distance applies to a Pro2 as well.

The above estimate assumes that there are no distractions and does include time for additional 360 views.

You also can attach as many details as you want in images (wall color, floor size or material, etc) so Archilogic team can create an accurate model. Time takes only 24-48 hours. You also can have a pro license where you can draw from scratch the models or import 3D data (.obj files) if you want to do...

6 yearsjessetutt (67): Hi David. It sure is. As mentioned there is a lot of cleanup needed, but it is possible. The challenge is that there is ~$500.00 CAD of work (the newest MP update that fills the holes likely will reduce this) to thicken the walls, strip the furniture that won't print (E.g. 4 x chair legs can't support the weight of the plastic of the top of the chair). Printing via sculpteo or Shapeways is ~$75.00 CAD. Tour:...

6 yearsseanminor (40): Nice job Tim. Why on Tim's scan did it not think the step down was another floor? I've seen complaints posted here. Did MP change something?

6 yearsCarlosFHdz (604): Yes, trimming is done while scanning, on the iPad. You can trim once the scan is completed too, from the iPad. Here's a video MP published on how to Scan a space. LINK You can add tags or name to a room using the workshop view function; however, measurements and tags are only viewable using the work shop view.

6 yearsDanSmigrod (25860): @judysmithre @Tim I got the wobble message while positioning the camera on top of a bed: a different way to generate this message. :cool: (By placing a flat board on the bed, I was able to get the scan I wanted.) https://my.matterport.com/models/YtVn3jUVoNv

A New Scan Question

7 yearsGarySnyder (1880): Just got back from a job but I'm still using the old app until Matterport give the all clear. Rpetersn, welcome on board. Once I know that the new app is working without a hitch then I'll try as Charlie and you suggest not marking the windows or just trimming them to see how they look.
