Scanning w/ Pro3 - Trying to get CAD - Best practice?19089

Client has a couple large spaces they want scanned, but they also want CAD documents. I know everyone talks about getting CAD from these Matterport scans...but I started to read about point clouds and it all get confusing really quick.

Is there a "best practice" type of method (or a simple solution) for taking a Matterport model that is scanned with a Pro3 and creating a CAD document with that. A CAD document that basically clean and can be dimensioned, add notes, title, etc.

I know this is probably documented all over this forum, but I was getting lost trying to locate a simple solution - if there are any.

Thanks!

This WGAN-TV Podcast -- Matterport Pro3 Camera for AEC: Expert Insights on Level of Accuracy, Benefits and Limitations -- discusses scanning for AEC. You can also read the transcript here.

The short answer is: it depends on the use-case regarding how close from scan point to scan point and if you need scans at different heights.

About CAD ...

1. Before doing your large space scan with your client, you might talk with WGAN Member Baezeni about the deliverables that your client wants. They can also help coach you on what questions to ask. (@Baezeni)

2. Since you are asking about documents, I included the WGAN-TV Podcast about WGAN Member NSPECT (above). [@tbarlow_NSPECT | @Bforeman_NSPECT | @jgermany_NSPECT)

3. Since you ask about annotating the Matterport model - or CAD - I have also included a WGAN-TV Podcast about WGAN Member SIMLAB (SIMLAB STAGES) (@Jedrzej | @SIMLAB)

If you are able to provide additional details about the deliverables and how they will be used, it's likely others will weigh-in with help info.

Best,

Dan

I have attached an image of a CAD drawing that I had produced from a Pro 2 scan. It was very accurate from a dimensional standpoint. I got the E57 file from Matterport and had a 3rd party person from Fiverr produce the .dwg file for me. This is a 2300 square foot home; he charged me $325 to convert the point cloud to a CAD drawing.

I scanned this property in a similar manner that I would have just to use the Digital Twin for presentation. I put a link below to the model so you can see the scan points that I used.

I scanned a commercial building for an architect recently with a Pro 3. I don't know how they went about converting it to a CAD file, but I have not heard any complaints.
