Digital Twins for Architectural Visualisation and Building Documentation
The world of architecture is constantly evolving, and architects need to stay on top of the latest technology to remain competitive and efficient. One technology that has been making waves in the industry is Matterport - a 3D scanning and virtual tour platform that allows architects to create immersive, interactive, and accurate digital twins of buildings.
Matterport uses laser scanning technology to create detailed and accurate 3D models of buildings, which can be used for a wide range of applications, from virtual tours to construction documentation.

Replace lengthy manual measurements with an accurate and fast 3D scan. Then import the point cloud or .obj file directly into your BIM software. Matterport uses laser scanning technology to create detailed and accurate 3D models of buildings, which can be used for a wide range of applications, from virtual tours to construction documentation. Here are six ways Matterport can benefit architects:
1. Accurate and detailed building documentation: With Matterport's laser scanning technology, architects can capture accurate and detailed as-built documentation of buildings. This is particularly useful for renovation or retrofit projects, where precise measurements and documentation are crucial.
2. Virtual tours: Matterport allows architects to create virtual tours of buildings, providing clients with an immersive and interactive experience that can help them better understand the design. This is especially useful for clients who are unable to visit the site in person.
3. Revit and BIM integration: Matterport files can be easily imported into Revit and other BIM software, allowing architects to use the accurate 3D models to inform their design process.
4. Point clouds: Matterport generates point clouds, which can be used to create accurate and detailed 2D floor plans and elevations
5. Virtual and augmented reality: Matterport's 3D models can be used to create virtual and augmented reality experiences, providing clients with an even more immersive experience.
6. Efficient construction documentation: Matterport's 3D models can be used to create efficient and accurate construction documentation, reducing the need for on-site visits and manual measurement.
