For that reason I personally do not care to start with any particular orientation.

Where can I get an example Matterport E57 file?

Olegred

7 monthsGladsmuir (602): Hi @Olegred, Matterport supply sample E57 files. They also supply a Revit plugin. You can only use the plugin with E57 files you have ordered from your account, not the sample ones. To use the sample files they first need conversion using a third party software. If you are not an expert in Revit I suggest you find a friendly Architect or engineer who is. Oliver

Lighting Recommendations for Matterport Pro2/Pro3 and Ricoh THETA Z1?

7 monthsron0987 (2407): @manog for the Ricoh Theta Z1 I like the Bushman Halo 360 light. It comes with dual threaded offset to allow access to camera charging port. The light itself also has the built in battery with the capability to charge your Z1 extending the time you can shot since the Z1 has a short battery life. The only down side is your adding weight to the top of the stand near the camera making it top heavy. The light output is adjustable.

when you go away from matterport app on ipad it stops uploading?

Olegred

3

8 monthsWingman (4065): do you mean when the app is just goes to background and it stops uploading? I would guess it is more like apple problem and they may pause any inactive app to do anything and it is not a choice of the app itself. Also the same should happen when an Ipad turns its screen off. To avoid it all I usually have some long timer for turning screen off, keep the app active(on top of everything) and leave my ipad as close to my router as possible.

Can I Mix LiDAR and 360 scans in the same Matterport tour?

Olegred

8 monthsGladsmuir (602): Hi @Olegred, You need a design programme to open them. In this country a lot of engineers and architects use Revit, and there is a Matterport plugin for Revit. It is not straightforward however, Revit and its sibling softwares are not easy to pick up, so it is not a case of loading the files and having a look. If you know an architect or engineer who uses the programmes it would be a lot easier to ask them to demonstrate how it works. Oliver

Matterport Scanning Tips for Accuracy?

However even for bedrooms one scan may be not enough as for a built...

However even if a new model can do alignment in 1 second which I believe is unreal it is only saving 4 seconds on total of 34 seconds(30 seconds spin, 5 seconds transfer and 5 sec alignment). It does not look big that much even though it saves 10% time. More Ram is great but again I could do 1200 scans models easy with my Ipad so...

You just would then have to make a proper tour in Seekbeak or another platform ie 3D Vista. Good luck!
