Wish List | Compass Plugin

WGAN-TV | How to Use Matterport Property Report and Plug-ins: Compass, Mini-Map, Quick Link and Business Card | Guest: Scan Your Space (a Division of Sparks Media Group) Founder and CEO Tom Sparks | Thursday, 6 June 2024 | Episode: 218 www.ScanYourSpace.com | www.SparksMediaGroup.com | @ScanYourSpace

Wish List for Matterport Plugin: Compass

Hi All,

What's on your Wish List for Matterport Plugin: Compass?

During the WGAN-TV Podcast (above), Scan Your Space (a Division of Sparks Media Group) Founder and CEO Tom Sparks and I discussed the Compass plugin.

That sparked this Compass Wish List item from @DigitalReplica3D:

When scanning, you can use a compass to set the lens direction.

Currently you need to go to a 3D view and point North. Then set the compass direction. Unfortunately you have no compass for a sense of direction. A few degrees off when looking at a wall in the 3D view is a huge difference from reality.

The idea that Google mapping is a solution isn’t valid as a portion of my clients are not interested in listing their physical address.

Best,
Charlie


I thought the compass could use some additional design thinking.

@DigitalReplica3D

Would you take a Matterport scan of a Compass and then hide the scan?

Would you take a photo of your Compass inside the space to set your Matterport Compass Plugin setting?

Would you want Matterport to set the Compass setting based on the orientation of the first scan? (Is a physical compass - externally viewable -- a hardware feature request?

Thanks,

Dan

I wish when my clients put a note/message/tag in the space it would automatically email me to notify. Not mattertags, the notes.

@Benrk0385

For clarification, are you seeking a workflow that enables clients to "mark-up" a Matterport tour or the content within the tour?

Can you give an example of what the client is doing and what the info will be used for?

Thanks,

Dan

Two reasons I’d like to see orientation take place with the first scan. One to orientate the compass the second to properly orientate the Dollhouse.

@DigitalReplica3D

Yes. I understand.

Seems like you should be able to set both on your iPad and then be able to change it in Matterport Workshop.

If you have your client set up as a collaborator. They need to @Benrk0385 in their note. Same as on this forum. You will then receive an email regarding the client’s new note.

@DigitalReplica3D, thanks so much. That’s exactly what I was looking for. I should have played around with it more. I only just started using it. Thanks again.
