Frustration with Matterport subscription levels

You’d think they’d want to encourage their customers to keep their models “live”, as the more models there are the more the general public would learn about Matterport and want to hire MSPs or even buy a camera themselves and have their own subscriptions which would make Matterport more money. My best advice is to try to...

Walls plumb and the floor level?

BlueImmersiveMedia

2

5 yearsthorn604 (85): 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.
