The original point cloud files offered in the Matterport 3D scanner ecosystem. For greater point cloud detail look to the newer E57 file output.
The MatterPak™ Bundle is designed for architects, engineers, and construction professionals who want to import the included assets into their 3D editing/development programs (such as 3ds Max, ReCap, Revit, or AutoCAD) for further work. This can be useful for a variety of tasks, such as creating an as-built model, using the point cloud for quality assurance and control, or using the ceiling and floor plan images for documentation and building turnover packages.
The MatterPak™ Bundle is a set of assets that can be imported into third-party programs. It contains:
- Colorized point cloud (.XYZ)
- Reflected ceiling plan image
- (.JPG) Multiple files if multiple floors
- (.PDF) All floors in one file
- High-resolution floor plan image. This is similar to the ceiling plan image but of the floor.
- (.JPG) Multiple files if multiple floors
- (.PDF) All floors in one file
- 3D mesh file (.OBJ) including the necessary texture map image files (.JPG)
Further information on the files in the bundle.
Colorized point cloud (.XYZ)
| Fully automatic point cloud registration of all sweeps (scan positions). Colorized based on the 360º panorama imagery and accurate to within 1% of reality. Can be opened in Recap, Revit, or AutoCAD and jump-start your as-built designs. |
High-Resolution Floor Plan Image
| Get a quick top-down view of the job site and everything inside it. Use in AutoCAD as a tracing element. Could be opened in 3ds Max, Maya, or other 3D software. The floor plan is just a unique, orthogonal view of the 3D mesh. Make your own views/slices of the 3D mesh by manipulating the OBJ file yourself. |
Reflected ceiling plan image
| Same as the high-resolution floor plans, but a quick vertical view of everything on the ceiling. See ventilation shafts, wiring, plumbing, insulation, and more. |
OBJ File
| Matterport combines 3D depth data with 2D visual data to create a textured 3D mesh that is the OBJ file. We sample the OBJ file to create the Dollhouse View in 3D Showcase. An OBJ file is not necessary for most users. 3D developers and VR enthusiasts can use the OBJ file to kickstart their projects with a 3D model of a real-world place. Our OBJ files have a scale of 1 unit = 1 meter. You may need to update the scale in your 3D software or rescale the model after loading. |
Example Files For Viewing/Download
We recommend you download the samples and open them in the 3D editing software you intend to use to ensure it works and you fully know what to expect.
