3D Modeling for Architecture, Engineering, and Construction

Whether you work in architecture, engineering, or construction, you can simplify documentation, perform 3D as-built scanning, and collaborate easily. With Matterport, you can reduce costs and save your most valuable “commodity”: time. Learn more about Matterport solutions for architects, engineers, and construction professionals. 89% of professionals in these three groups agree that 3D captures are the future of these industries. 82% agree that 3D modeling is a better way to communicate the status of a construction site.

Architecture and Engineering

Streamline design and BIM modeling processes with digital twin cloud data of the site's condition. Our platform integrates seamlessly with SketchUp, Revit, AutoCAD, and many other BIM software.

Construction

Run a more efficient construction process with collaborative project review. Use BIM360 or Procore with Matterport to enable fast and easy collaboration and manage all aspects of your project in 3D. Procore is the most used construction software in the world.

Take Advantage of Matterport

Matterport's 3D data platform is the most powerful, accurate, and fastest way to document a building or property. With a compatible camera, you can capture everything, both indoors and outdoors, with the highest level of detail.

3D Scanning That Fits Your Workflow

Our platform automatically brings all your data together and allows you to easily transfer this data to other platforms, saving you a considerable amount of manual work and time. Create a 3D tour and immediately direct everyone to a virtual site tour.

Move through important milestones quickly and effectively by eliminating travel time, sharing the model for approval, and adding annotations.
Conduct remote inspections, take measurements while off-site, and reduce site visits by capturing all data at once.

How can 3D scanning for BIM reduce design and construction costs?

Incorporating Matterport into your BIM (Building Information Modeling) process can help you reduce virtual design and construction costs and win more bids.

Export your point cloud and easily share and process it with Revit® and other BIM tools.
Create OBJ files and point clouds for as-built projects and construction documents.
Scan tight spaces 10-15 times faster than a typical lidar scanner.
Place your point cloud into your BIM model to perform validation.
Take measurements in hard-to-reach areas such as pipes, trusses, and ceiling joists.

The Matterport platform provides incredible accuracy and easy measurement.

Capture all areas with high accuracy using the Matterport Pro3 camera with 1% deviation and the Leica BLK360 G1 with 0.1% deviation.
Replace thousands of photos by capturing all images and data at once, saving time by eliminating the need to document, organize, and label photos.
Obtain reflected ceiling plan images and schematic floor plans.
Eliminate registration markers or manual alignment.

Building Information Modeling

Matterport BIM files provide fast, easy, and accurate 3D as-built plans for every space. Architects, designers, and building engineers can now accurately capture and view the existing condition and contents of any building in CAD and design software faster, easier, and more cost-effectively than ever before.

The BIM file includes one .RVT and two .DWG CAD files.
Eliminate the manual creation of as-built projects with Matterport + BIM.
BIM output includes optional comprehensive architectural, furniture, and MEP elements.
The Autodesk Revit add-in is available for quickly importing Matterport digital twins and associated data files.
Files accommodate measurable dimensions and quantities.

E57 File

Unlock the full potential of your Leica BLK360 G1 or Pro series camera with E57 point clouds. Offering 10 times more detail than the traditional XYZ format MatterPak, E57 files are vendor-neutral and widely used by most 3D design software. This allows for higher density point clouds to be integrated into your documentation and modeling workflows.

Add outdoor shots taken with Leica BLK to your Matterport 3D workflow.
Coordinate projects from anywhere by uploading E57 files to your existing cloud-based applications.
