As for using it to capture a 360 I believe the further you are from objects the more chance you have to make a 360 without any stitching errors. It is better to stay at least 50cm away from any object and that distance applies to a Pro2 as well.

We're also keen to see MP release some form of vertical trimming (skylights are the bane of a good walkthrough), and manual re-alignment of scans in the capture app. We've done some testing between BLK, Pro2 and Z1 that I haven't gotten around to writing up yet.

5 yearsWingman (4345): Tried it now in full sunlight and I could not scan at all. It seems it can work somehow with clouds covering the Sun but once it is out and shining it won't work. With clouds though just keep looking at a minimap in Capture and make sure your next scan data is going to overlap data from any of the previous scans. If there is no Sun you should have about 2-3m of data placed around each scan(can be more if it is really cloudy) so you next...

Apartment balcony Scans

9 yearsViewtech3D (16): Hi Thanks for the advice and the contact I will look into that. With regard to lower shots they were for the still internal shots however I cant delete them now as I used them in the Gallery. I should have saved the original scan as I have now deleted balcony scans in capture, but in future if I label door to balcony as window it should give a better image when looking back onto the apartment? It was the brick wall I was concerned with. Thanks

Any one use for signage?

Queues For Successful Scan Outdoors

9 yearsJonJ (1760): When I say done, I mean you have captured everything in the space that you want/are able to in the first pass. There may still be areas that need to be filled in due to excessive sunlight. In this case I will move on to the next space and then circle back to the first room when light conditions are more favorable. I only do this if there are no blinds or shades that I can close. If there are shades, I just close them to capture the geometric...

9 yearsPetraSoderling (752): Hmm.. weird. The Workshop icon has changed for me and instead of the green/blue color box that says 'Workshop' it is now showing one or more screenshots from a room. This happens with all of my customer accounts right now. I've emailed MP, hope to hear from them soon.

Seemingly long upload ?

Anything that deliberately hurts the economy is an enemy of the people. It's just another way to steal more money from a supposed free people. It's us against them, as there is no representation. We need another tea party. http://www.freedomworks.org/content/hidden-cost-regulation

Long Hallway scan issue

9 yearscraigsauer (1075): Ah! That's what I was missing. I was stuck thinking both these issues were related to the long hallways, but actually they are unrelated issues. The hotel issue was that the hallway was long and featureless and the house issue was that because the hallway was too sunny I tried to scan outside before completing the house. Thanks! Craig

Exterior Scan Issues

10 yearsGarySnyder (2140): Hi Ron I had the very same issues especially with the 180 degrees to black. If you didn't know what was going on you would almost be lost in space as there is nothing unless you are aware you need to turn around and see the other half of the scan. I wonder if there has been some losses on their development team and the staff who are now developing the capture app are not as good and what we're seeing as well as paying the prices are these...

10 yearsGarySnyder (2140): It would appear that the most recent update to the capture app or camera have increased the sensitivity to IR as well as letting the capture app accept scans that should have been rejected (cant's access the circles). This is discussed in detail in the forum below. https://www.wegetaroundnetwork.com/topic/403/exterior-scan-issues/#20 Where I experienced the very same issues. There's a very good response from Glenn at MP who states that it's...
