I did not like the way the OBJ imported so I do not get the Matterpak. I use the Blueprint function and for $14.99 they send me a PDF, a PNG, and 2 SVGs. I use Adobe Illustrator to convert the SVG to DXF, and then I draw the walls on top of that. I do wish that CA would provide a DXF in the Blueprint pack as that would save me a step. I just did this scan a couple of days ago. https://my.matterport.com/show/?m=d2Cts4ozXcu Once the scan had been processed into the 3d walk through, I submitted the request for the 2d blueprint. I received it this morning, converted the SVG into a DXF with the appropriate scale, and got the walls drawn in in about an hour. The camera and system have increased the accuracy and decreased the amount of time it takes for me to produce an as-built plan.

Our company is considering doing something like this but we're not sure if the limited accuracy is worth the cost. Thank you in advance, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious. Did you actually draw 3 or 4 different wall widths for the plan like the pdf? or do you guess at any support walls, and draw the others as 2x4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matterport is pretty good at guessing wall thicknesses from stitching scans together. That being said, it would be a great ideal to take some actual measurements to make adjustments when doing the CA model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It hten begs the quesrtion, how does one draw it in CA? would one change the closets to 2x4 walls, and then move the closets on the left all down, or simply increase the closets. I assume the latter, but then does one adjust the closet widths to the nearest inch, and leave one shorter if they are believed to be all the same. I would also assume that is what people do. But maybe not ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But maybe not ... It is true you have to be careful, and the resolution of the system is to the nearest inch. Field measurements are still very important.

(Matterport was the only provided as-built info for a few reasons). I was initially excited about the tech. as it is very whiz-bang. But, after struggling with drawing dimensional discrepancies became less so. I then took a look at Matterport's accuracy claim out of curiousity and it is 1%. This is 6" over 50 feet. To me that's a lot and a lot less accurate than a laser distance finder. That said, I do appreciate Matterport as a possible substitute for site photos.

Northriver Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 If you want accuracy, you need to use this:Leica BLK2GO - Mobile Mapping (leica-geosystems.com). Not sure it's worth the hefty price tag. Cost more than my 1st house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
