5 yearsWingman (4339): Pano2VR should have that functionality. Never used it in Pano2VR but used to get a model with multiple floors to load from GSV into Pano2VR. Then after some changes I reuploaded it back and all floors were left unchanged. I believe they are done through labels in Pano2VR Street View submission form. If it is critical, I can check how it is written there for floors. And I am sure there should be a tutorial about it.

Sometimes you´ll find that if you view a single floor in multifloor dollhouse you´ll see the stairs extending upwards. i.e. the stairs might connect to one floor and one floor only. This is automatically generated so it will not help moving scans around in the capture app. -Robin Lycka

8 yearsTrustedPhotoDC (1108): The height of the ring should not matter. If the camera can see the top of the ring when scanning from the floor, you will just add additional geometry. If you were to add a second floor(i.e. the ring), Matterport would most likely combine in the stitching and publishing and give you back only one floor.

Paulterry

8 yearsPaulterry (19): I think they I'll only support up to 200 scans so if you have issues with it then it's not supported. Large numbers of scans in a model take longer to upload and even longer to process. The scan app on iPad can crash aswell so important to keep duplicating your models after say 175 scans just to be on the safe side.
