| Hello Maire, I'm not sure they should be charging for this service: Convert Matterport scan to point cloud $3.99 Convert a Matterport scan to photographic point cloud (.pts) for importing into CAD software. |

| Thank you guys, it seems matterport charges similar to veriscian. I somewhere heard Matterport charges for the download of the .obj-file, too, but could verify reading their prices. Any links on that, too? Best, Thomas |

| @maire Matterport conversion to pts file type is free during the beta(they deliver a .xyz via dropbox). Using the link you have, fill out the form and submit- its really that easy. I have had one done by both verician and matterport- Quality wise they are similar, timewise versican is much faster! I had mine in about 10 mins vs a few hours, plus having the ability to pic the size you want/need is nice as well. Both import easily into autodesk recap, you can then convert to a dwg file after if need be. |

| I'm really excited by the launch of the Matterport point cloud beta program - it’s great that Matterport are starting to see the value it can bring the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry. Hopefully this is only the beginning of great features for Matterport in the AEC industry. As @Metroplex360 @DanSmigrod mentioned, we (Veriscian) also offer a service to convert a Matterport scan to point cloud. The main difference is that our service starts with the OBJ file and converts it to point cloud, whereas the Matterport beta program provides the point cloud from prior to it being converted to OBJ. So you will tend to find that the point cloud produced from our conversion is a bit cleaner looking (i.e. smoother/flatter surfaces) as its gone through that extra clean-up step of being converted to the OBJ mesh. Depending on your application, you might find either point cloud more appropriate. For anyone interested in using the point cloud with Autodesk Revit, ReCap or AutoCAD - below are a few step by step guides on how to do it. These steps were written initially for the .pts file produced our point cloud conversion service, but they should also work with the Matterport beta point cloud (.xyz file). Install Autodesk Recap 2016 free Index raw point cloud using Autodesk Recap Import a point cloud into Revit Import a point cloud into AutoCAD 2016 (external) |

@JoshReadhead Thank you so much for this post!!!! At first, I thought you guys were just selling the file -- but I took a moment to read the article you had written that Dan pointed me to and realized that the tour that was used as an example didn't even contain a point cloud. What's great for your company is that access to download the point cloud file was shut down today  |

| Update - my simple download service is back up. I figured out a loophole. Expect it to be shut off within 24 hours. https://mp2sqft.com/matterpoint/ |
