| Hi, I wonder what are the most effective workflows to calculate the wall thickness both exterior and interior and draw elevation drawings from Matterport Scan. Some tips on the internet tell you to scan inside and outside and then calculate the wall thickness, is it the only way to do that? For the Elevation drawings, do we need to scan differently from outside (like using long poles) so that Matterport shall have the correct height of the building. Can we calculate it from the regular dollhouse or we need to buy additional data and then process it? Pro 3 shall be used to scan a residential building space. Thanks & Regards, Fakhar |

| How are you planning to get the data for the elevations? MatterPak? E57 File? I’ve struggled with Matterport getting accurate wall thickness even when I scan exterior and interior. My best advice is make sure you scan on both sides of a door threshold. (…but even then, we often just take a quick hand dimension at the door frame.) |

| Im trying to understand the process. I know people converting Scan to CAD file pretty easily so wonder if elevations can also be prepared accurately. I believe it can be generated using point cloud data but trying to avoid that route due to cost constraints. Not sure For wall thickness measurements at all. |

| @rhelling I agree we never were able to get accuracy that was builder grade. For general purpose it was ok, but the architect we worked with wanted hard measurements, which was not that big a deal on average size homes. It became an issue for larger custom homes and or commercial properties. | ||

| @ron0987 so you would do hard measurements manually? | ||

| @fakharimran This was easier done than it sounds, it always dependent on the client, but most commercial work I did was built with steel studs and minimal walls because they were store front and storage space so very few walls. The only time it got time consuming was older custom homes and most architects were not to worried about it but did want us to not it if we saw noticeable or visible difference. In office space we would make a hard measurement when we started and compare to each door and only note it if we found a major difference which would usually be over 1/4" difference. We did this recorded notes and scan points so we could always go back and tag it in the completed scan for the customer. |

| @ron0987 so what are your workflow recommendations? Process pointcloud data to do the task? I checked it further and found the E57 data is the way to go. Any thoughts and recommendations.

I have worked with magicplan which is and easy tool to work with but then there shall be twice the work to do. I am trying to find an efficient workflow that shall include the Pro3 scan and little manual work complementing it to ensure the correct measurements. |
