Opening / Closing Doors - from Matterport4955

On June 1, Matterport posted a guide to scanning doorways wherein the door opens and closes.

Fixing Blocked Doorways

If a door is closed in one scan and open in another, then the door can become part of the 3D mesh in the Matterport Space. This can mean a blocked pathway and parts of the Space that the user can't navigate to.

You can fix this problem using Trim markers.

Find the blocked doorway in the Capture app.
Add two trim markers on either side of the doorway. They should face each other as pictured below.
Reupload the model. Remember, reuploads of already processed Spaces are free.

We've been having lots of success with opening and closing doors without needing to use trimming etc. but useful tips nonetheless.

Everytime I scan I open and close doors. I always try to go back around a corner and start again. I always upload as is, then make a duplicate and delete the extra scans. I love the preview they put out a few months back! When they walk near a door it opens. I mostly do it for garages for floor plans and delete all related scans.

I have used that trick for a long time but I usually run into the problem when going inside/outside where that is needed.

I did a scan a few weeks ago and the doors upstairs would not stay open. Every door was at a 45% angle. One bedroom that shared a bathroom the door was half opened. I tried this trick numerous times and finally gave up. I wad fine with it because there was another way in.

I have used the trim tool over 20 times and had it not work only once. I always scan outdoor spaces vs. 360's, so I run into this problem a little more frequently than most.

I gave up on finding the right diagnosis here in hope it corrects later and sticking with the 45 degree theory. Still keeping a hammer and screw driver in the car for the doors that just need to come off the hinges. No time to test.

Glad to see the open close working on some oops's without having to go back like before.

@VTLV

So are you a photographer or demo guy?

I can see it now, you are like super man. You look normal, then you run out to car and come back wearing a hard hat, vest, tool belt and mud on your pants!

I always have secretly wanted to have a meltdown and flip out in someone's house. In fact, I had this reaction a few weeks ago. The agent didn't show up but the client and kid decided to stay there. I swear every time I turned around they were in the way. The kid is in one scan and I thought, he is going to stay. Then the lady asked how much longer, he said an hour tops? He thought I could do a 4,000sqft house with Matterport and stills. I just thought about it but I should have told her that is only on houses when people are not getting on my nerves and in the way.
