FAQProblemsScanningStairs

Yikes! I can only go down the stairs! (Not Up) What did I do wrong???12881

Matt19 private msg quote post Address this user
I did this [Matterport] scan the other day and can only go up the stairs verses down (by the dots).

I put in deep links as the workaround for the time being. Does anyone know what I did wrong?

Thank you in advance.

You need more sweeps (scan positions) on stairs, in thresholds, or any other area where visibility is partially blocked. Remember, to navigate any space you need clear line of sight to at least 1 sweep.

I regularly do scans on boats. I have to scan every other stair or I have the same issue.

You may be able to do a diamond trim to remove the Mesh in the doorway (this happens from closed then open doors)

@lilnitsch is right on the money this trick can work but it was scanning so close to the door with it being closed. Early in the past 2 months someone posted a trick from Sandy, she was a MP tech rep that answered alot of concerns and she posted a youtube video on this exact issue.

Are we talking about this spot?

https://my.matterport.com/show/?m=M3ik3sD78tn&sr=-1.56,.67&ss=41

You can go up the stairs but you need to click exactly on the circles located on the steps. If you miss any of them just a bit you will fall of the stairs down.

It seems when you are missing these circles the system is trying to find the closest one where it can send you and finding them below the stairs only. More scans on stairs could help but since it needs another visit to the property is probably not an option for you.

What you can do there though, at least try to do... is try putting mirror marking on each side of the stairs. If you do it the system should think that of the stairs and on their sides are just reflections, it should remove the mesh on both stairs sides and you should stop falling of the stairs.

and leave what @lilnitsch has recommended you to do. You have scanned with the closed door and there is the mesh in the doorway that also needs to be removed.

@Wingman This was the spot that was giving me troubles. It seems to be working now all of sudden.

@lilnitsch So you are saying use the crop/remove tool and make the pattern you did? It's strange because now the system is letting me pass though all of sudden and I haven't tried cropping yet.

@Matt19

I am recommending using the trim tool on the model on you iPad and re-uploading. This should clear the mesh from that doorway allowing for easier access through and down the stairs

@lilnitsch Thank you!!!!! That is what I meant...trim tool!

It's strange as the system seemed to have figured it out or maybe it is device dependent. I put a deep link if it doesn't work. I have not tried the trim tool yet which I probably should.
