Can you do GSV on one floor of multi-floor commercial buildings?14512

| I'm curious if anyone knows the protocol if you have a business wanting Google Street View when their office space is, let's say, on the third floor of a multi-floor building. Obviously when you position the business on to the map it would overlap with other units on different floors, but that wouldn't be a problem, would it? I suspect ultimately that the GSV is tied to the business and not the building, right? I just have never done it before, so wasn't certain. |

| The tour is published to the business GMB page so you should not encounter any issues. A reminder, as I forgot myself recently, to choose the Highlight Reel option when you publish through Matterport. I’m not sure when the offer ends, but publishing was free again recently. |

| You need to call a floor "Level x" in Matterport where x equals a level as it is shown on Google. So a ground level is usually level 0. When you publish Google should check a level assigned to a floor in a tour and place it correctly. | ||

| Hi @Wingman, I was unaware that GSV read and used the content of the floor name tag when publishing their 2D version of Matterport tours. Other than shopping malls, stadia and other large public buildings that Google has collected scan data on, I was also unaware that they held floor quantity data on individual buildings. If they do not have actual data, does this mean we can designate as many floors as we wish to a building? This could be especially useful. Can you point me to any reference material on the subject? One issue I foresee is the difference between European/Australian and US floor numbering conventions. You correctly say that ‘we’ designate the level we enter a building at as the ‘Ground Floor’ and ‘0’, and then 1 is the ‘First Floor’ and so on. As I understand it in the US the level you enter a building on is designated as the ‘First Floor’ and ‘1’, the next floor is ‘2’ and so on. We have a local hospital here in Ireland where they have installed an American manufactured lift/elevator. When you enter the lift at the building entry level there is a large ‘G’ on the wall. To reach the first floor above street level you need to press the ‘2’ button. You then emerge on a floor with a large ‘1’ sign. The lift speaks in an American accent and announces that you have arrived at ‘Level 2’. You see a lot of bewildered folk riding up and down in the lift/elevator unsure of when they should alight. As a US company I would expect Matterport to adopt the US convention on floor numbering, and wonder if you know if this is correct from your experiences? Regards Oliver |
