| Hi all, I'm after a bit of advice heading into a big shoot on the weekend.. Will be scanning a large warehouse style office sharespace. It has a ground floor with lots of office units and then a long mezzanine level against one wall which looks down into the main warehouse, with a staircase at both ends. My plan was to shoot all the ground floor first, and then go up the stairs at one end of the mezzanine, scan across it and then head back down the other set of stairs to finish. Does that sound sensible? In regard to setting "floors": I intend to scan the entire "Ground" floor and then head up the stairs, when I reach the TOP of the stairs, I will create the new floor "Mezzanine". Once I've scanned across the mezzanine I go finally down the steps at the other end of the mezzanine, at what point would I be advised to change my floor back to "Ground"...? Or would it be a better practice to go back down and scan an ASCENT up both sets of stairs from the Ground, rather than ever descend stairs? They also want a single shot from the exterior entrance of the building, how would you normally handle something like that which doesn't connect very well to the interior scan? Hope that makes sense.. Any advice would be much appreciated.  r with lots of office |

| You can scan the stairs up or down. If you scan a descent, do the full descent while set to Mezanine. When completed, then reassign the stairway scans to the first floor, as you would do had you scanned as an ascent. The outdoor shot just shoot as a 360 rather than 3D scan, and “place on map” in the proper location before processing the model. |

| Thanks! So to confirm: Scan Ground floor > scan up the stairs > at the top set to Mezanine > Scan the Mezanine > scan down the opposite stairs back to ground > at the bottom set back to Ground. Is that correct? |

| Almost... any time you scan down a staircase there’s an extra step. Since you begin the descent from your Mezzanine floor, the camera needs to remain set to mezzanine while you scan down. But once done, the scans on the stairway need to be reassigned to the ground/1st floor. Matterport recommends that stairway scans always “belong” as part of the lower floor before processing. |

| I have done a few of the same scenarios. I like to have both staircases attached to the ground floor. One thing I do is scan the ground floor and scan up one set of the stairs to the mezzanine. I then go back downstairs and scan up the other set of stairs to the mezzanine and continue scanning across the mezzanine. I find that the scanning stays a lot straighter toward the end of the mezzanine since there is already data for the camera to mesh to. It works for me. | ||
