Architecture, Engineering & Construction

Improved documentation, All-in-one Scanning and Building Information Modelling

Fast, effective Information

Engineers, BIM managers, VDCs, and architects can inspect the site remotely with a virtual tour.
The virtual tour is a collection of 360º images deeply connected to the 3D model of the space.
Each 360º image is automatically placed in the correct location — no post-processing necessary.
Collaborators can use Matterport to create a visual punchlist of tasks that need to be completed.
Scan the same job site at different phases to show progress over time (construction documentation).
Explore in Virtual Reality with Matterport VR.

Take simple measurements (dimensions) in metric or imperial units.
Measure remotely — no need for a return site visit just to measure.
Measure dimensions of objects, rooms, or even the entire job site.
Measurements are accurate to within 1% of reality.
Workshop measurements are made on the 3D mesh. You can also download the point cloud and measure in ReCap.

Take simple flat 2D photography.
Take as many as you like and use them for both print and digital formats.
Download your 2D photos as simple PNG files.
Use for simple team communication or include in the turnover package for your clients.

Download as many 360º photospheres from the Matterport Space as you like.
A 360º photosphere is the same spherical, panorama imagery that you see in 3D Showcase.
Open with a specific tool for editing and viewing 360º images.

The OBJ file is a true 3D model of the space. Matterport combines depth data from the camera with visual data from the 360º image to create a colored, textured 3D mesh that is the OBJ file.
Matterport samples the OBJ file to create the Dollhouse View in 3D Showcase.
3D developers and VR enthusiasts can use the OBJ file to kickstart their projects with a 3D model of a real-world place.
Open in 3ds Max, Maya, or other 3D software.
Download a sample OBJ file.

The following example outputs are from the International Congress Center in Munich. Explore the 3D Space.

Get a quick top-down view of the job site and everything inside it
Access the floorplan from inside 3D Showcase (the web player) or through a separate download.
Use in AutoCAD as a tracing element.
The floorplan is just a unique, orthogonal view of the 3D mesh from about 6 feet (1.8 meters) up in the air. Make your own views/slices of the 3D mesh by downloading and manipulating the OBJ file yourself.
Download a sample floor plan image.

Same as the floor plans, but a quick view of the ceiling and everything on it.
See ventilation shafts, plumbing, rafters, insulation, and more.
The ceiling plan is an orthogonal view up at the geometry in the ceiling, taken from about 8 feet (2.4 meters) above the ground.
Download as a separate 3D asset from your Matterport Space (beta).
Download a sample reflected ceiling plan image.
