3UPLOAD AND NEXT STEPS
Review and Upload
When you are done scanning, turn off the camera
and connect your iPad or iPhone to the internet.
Log in to your Matterport Cloud account from the
Matterport Capture app. If you haven’t registered
an account, check your welcome email for
instructions.
Check the model before you upload: mark all
windows and mirrors. Use the trim tool to crop
out any excess scan data for a clean nish. Don’t
place the trim markers directly on top of a wall.
Instead, place the trim marker just outside
the exterior wall so you don’t cut the wall out
of the model.
Tap “Upload” to send the model to Matterport
Cloud for processing.

Handle with Care
The Matterport 3D Camera is a sensitive precision instrument
and must be handled with care. Always transport your camera
in a padded bag or case and ensure the camera is secure and
does not shift.
2SCAN A SPACE
Prepare the Location Scan your rst model
Tidy up and remove personal
items. Don’t move objects
between scans.
Take the camera to a starting point, like the foyer. Tap “Capture 3D Scan” in the Capture
app. Stand out of sight as your camera will turn 360º to scan.
Move the camera 5 to 8 ft (1.5 to 2.5 m), keeping a clear line of sight to the previous
scan. Tap “Capture 3D Scan”. The app must align images from this new scan to previous
scans. You can see a preview in the Capture app.
Continue to a new spot 5 to 8 ft (1.5 to 2.5 m) away. Follow a path a visitor would take.
Mark windows and mirrors immediately after each scan for good alignment.
When moving between doors, scan on either side of the open door. Do not move the door
between scans.
Continue along your path to explore and scan the rest of the site. Take at least two scans
per room.
In narrow spaces, scan along a straight line. It’s best to keep at least 1.5 ft (0.5 m) from
walls and doors. Scan near objects of interest, like appliances.
Switch to 360° Views to capture outdoor scenes with lots of bright sunlight. Scan
outdoors last.
Minimize bright, direct sunlight
into the space, as it may interfere
with scan quality.
Close doors to areas you won’t
scan and open doors between
rooms you will scan.
