MatterPort OBJ - SolidWorks

8 yearsDanSmigrod (31197): @LRA I could imagine that the Matterport Object File (.obj) is too large to manipulate. You may want to convert the .obj to a file format that is manageable. Any of these Matterport .obj conversions by Veriscian ( @JoshReadhead ) helpful? Best, Dan

8 yearsgrmngrl (942): @Metroplex360 I can not understand how this can be legal. The 360 sphericals don't need to be hosted. And at the point in time when they where made available I do not have a choice but accepting the t&c. Could Nikon, Cannon etc just update their conditions and not give us the raw files either? I really think it was a bad choice from my side to buy the camera. I would not be so upset if Matterport would provide me with the service I...

I also need to stop fiddling and planning and start scanning lol. @Max_Sodomovskiy - I reviewed your method and it seems viable. Something I will have to hold my breath and test out to see how everything goes. I need to get a fresh iPad, take a test scan, complete the methods out that are being talked about and determine which works...

Point cloud to CAD Problems

Invelop

8 yearsJoshReadhead (24): @Invelop Hi Stephen Sincere apologies for taking so long to reply. The process for importing the point cloud does vary depending on what version you have, but will attempt to troubleshoot as best I can. Judging by the error message, it sounds to me like you are trying to open the point cloud directly within AutoCad. For most AutoCad versions, the point cloud still needs to be imported (even though it's in the .rcs Autodesk format) while the...

It is a great tool for as build's for builders and architects. It fall a little short on the accuracy but for as builds it is great, determining building concepts and general sizing it is great. Just one application. Ron

I tell customers that the model pricing works out to near $15.00 per month and is billed every 6 months for $90. There is an option the FLATTEN the model into a screen capture [but then it no longer functions] They can BUY that version for an EXTRA $[How Big was it / Time]

Will matterport ever become a designer tool?

9 yearsDennis_N (91): Well, if Matterport allowed some expansion to their software through 3rd parties, other companies would be able to do this. These expansions are called "plugins" and no software can thrive in a competitive market without them. It is totally fine if Matterport doesn't want to continue developing in any other direction. Just give power to other companies to expand their software toolset for a fee. I've bought a $3,000 design package in...
