Hi, I need to scan a commercial space of approximately 27 square feet, which includes offices, storage areas, two floors, and a large open parking area. One of the key requirements is to deliver accurate measurements of the building, including the open spaces. I have reviewed several videos and Matterport blogs on scanning large spaces, and I have also printed some APRIL tags in case they are needed. I’m seeking practical tips on optimizing the scan, such as the ideal tripod height and techniques for efficiently scanning large open areas like the attached example. Since we also need precise measurements from the scan, any advice would be greatly appreciated and I shall be using Pro 3 camera. Thanks, Fakhar |

We do this a lot. …and request the CAD from Matterport. My best advice is to keep the scan points close - it takes more time, but the outcome will be better. We try to keep a consistent path every 5 steps or so. Pay attention to scanning near storefront. I like to have more scan points in these areas. Always scan on both sides of thresholds. …and if you notice slight misalignment - rescan right away. 27,000sf will likely take 3-4hrs and have well over 200 scan points. (…obviously keep the tripod level and the spaces well lit.) |

@rhelling thanks for your input and surely I shall be more attentive towards the storefront, my concern was to scan this large area in a way that there shall not be too many scan points and the final tour shall have the measurements in it. Do you have any sample space that for such a large outdoor parking space? Regarding the tripod level, I am planning to do almost 6 feet, is it ok? Today I put some APRIL tags in the warehouse area site preparation also the site has a mezzanine floor that is only accessible from the main warehouse, I shall treat it as a separate floor? Thanks, Fakhar |
