| If you were starting to depend on using the free experimental MP2SQFT.com Beta app created by @Metroplex360 and offered free to the community by the WE GET AROUND FORUM, too-bad-so-sad. Matterport made a change to their API today (16 September 2016) that killed the MP2SQFT.com free Square Feet - and Square Meters - calculator tool. While we understand that the unofficial API was experimental, we disclosed Matterport's concern about the use of the data on the webpage. Despite this disclaimer and indicating that neither @Metroplex360 or the WE GET AROUND FORUM is associated with Matterport, they killed the data anyone. We (all) can only hope that Matterport will enable this API again so that the WE GET AROUND FORUM can offer WP2SQFT.com free to the community again. Best, Dan |

| Hi Everyone! Is there any other way at all to calculate square footage? For pricing purposes? How are people doing this right now? Sam |

| @samgaetz Yes, there's a way to do it. I just don't know how. I got to thinking -- Matterport is using the same source material that we have -- we provide the models from our iPad and that data is crunched on their system. We have access to download the OBJ file that includes textures, etc. - so in theory, someone clever could LIKELY figure out how to build ALL of the same assets that Matterport was providing that they took away. It's just not easy to do  |

| Just a reminder: www.mp2sqft.com --is-- back but does lack the colored floorplan to help you visualize the data. I have some ideas to make up for it that I'll be working on in the future. |
