From Matterport Scan to Construction-Ready As-Built: The Workflow Explained A Matterport scan to as-built documentation project moves through four steps: capture, point cloud processing, dimensional verification, and CAD or BIM conversion. The full workflow typically...
What Is an As-Built Drawing, and Why Does It Matter for AEC? An as-built drawing documents the exact conditions of a building as it exists today — not as it was originally designed. For AEC teams, it matters because design drawings and field conditions almost always...
Matterport vs. Traditional Field Measure: A Side-by-Side for As-Built Accuracy Matterport vs field measure is a real decision for as-built documentation: both produce dimensional data, but they differ in speed, completeness, and what happens if a measurement is...
Common Mistakes in Matterport-to-As-Built Conversions (and How to Avoid Them) Common Matterport as-built conversion mistakes happen at the handoff between the point cloud and the finished drawing — missed ceiling heights, misread door swings, and mechanical or...
One site visit from P3D produces a Matterport tour, point cloud, floor plan, CAD drawing, and Revit model. Here’s what each one is for.
When we scan a building, you get the full Matterport model and documentation in 24 hours. That 24-hour scan delivery isn't a selling point — it's what makes the documentation useful. This post is for builders, GCs, project managers, and architects who need accurate...
Between the time we leave a building and the time you get a model link, a specific set of processing steps happens — and they happen faster than most people expect. This post is for project managers, architects, and contractors who want to understand the Perspective...
Matterport compared to traditional field documentation: one method takes 24 hours, the other takes 5 to 10 business days. This post breaks down the actual timeline difference for Michigan AEC teams and explains why the gap matters more at some project stages than...
Scheduling Matterport 3D scan visits are flexible with Perspective 3D. Builders can't stop active building for a scan visit. We don't expect them to. This post explains how P3D fits a Matterport scan around your trade's schedule on active construction and occupied...
Construction documentation delays cost Michigan project teams in avoidable RFIs, extra site visits, and change orders — most of which don't show up as a visible line item until a project is already over. If your building has been scanned, the documentation exists. The...
What does a Matterport 3D scan capture? A Matterport 3D scan captures every visible surface, dimension, and condition in a building — navigable, measurable, and ready when you need. What it does not capture is what's hidden behind closed surfaces. This post is for...
When every team on a project can walk the site from their desk, the project's coordination cost drops. Decisions that used to take three people in a building become 30-minute screen shares with the right people in the room — regardless of where the room is. This post...
