Matterport Customization, Uncover the Potential of Personalized Digital Twins to Unlock Immersive, Personalized Experiences

Matterport digital twins have transformed how we interact with physical spaces. Whether you’re a real estate agent showcasing a property, an architect reviewing a structure for remodeling, or a property manager providing virtual tours, Matterport technology creates an immersive experience comparable to being there in person. At STEP BY STEP 3D, we specialize in customizing your Matterport digital twin to meet your specific needs. This article explores how our expertise can enhance your Matterport experience with custom views, data layers, and interactive tags.

Guided Tours & General Editing

To maximize the potential of your Matterport customization, it’s crucial to communicate key information and create a compelling narrative within your digital space. STEP BY STEP 3D can help you utilize Guided Tours and general editing capabilities to personalize your digital twin:

For instance, create distinct views for training, maintenance, and safety teams. STEP BY STEP 3D will assist in setting up these views, ensuring each is tailored to its intended audience.

Benefits of Custom Views

Custom views offer several advantages that enhance the efficiency and flexibility of using digital twins for different purposes.

• Efficiency: Avoid duplicating models, saving time and resources.
• Flexibility: Tailor experiences for different audiences.
• Collaboration: Multiple teams can work within their specific views without interfering with each other’s content.

Data/Informational Layers

Enhance your digital twin further with data layers, which group annotations to let viewers show or hide collections of tags, labels, notes, and measurements.

Using Data Layers

Data layers help manage and organize information within your digital twin. They provide a structured way to present related information, making it easier for viewers to focus on relevant details.

• Electrical View: Group annotations related to lighting and electrical systems.
• Interior Design View: Group annotations related to furniture and decor.

Visitors can choose which layers to view, offering a customized experience based on their needs. STEP BY STEP 3D helps set up and manage these layers to enhance functionality and user experience.

Benefits of Data Layers

Using data layers brings several organizational and collaborative benefits to managing digital twins.

• Improved Organization: Group related annotations for easier navigation.
• Customized Views: Allow visitors to tailor their experience by selecting specific data layers.
• Enhanced Collaboration: Different teams can focus on their areas of interest without cluttering the model.

Space Search

For larger and more complex digital twins, Space Search ensures users can effortlessly locate desired terms in a 3D environment and navigate to them easily.

Features of Space Search

Space Search includes several powerful features designed to enhance navigation and usability within your digital twin. These features simplify the process of finding and interacting with specific elements.

• Category Filters: Narrow down search results by specific criteria like Highlight or Tag.
• Submenu for Search Results: Edit or delete aspects of the digital twin directly from the search results.

Benefits of Space Search

The benefits of using Space Search include improved navigation efficiency and a more streamlined experience for users interacting with complex digital twins.

• Simplified Navigation: Help visitors find what they need quickly.
• Improved Efficiency: Allow digital twin owners to prepare spaces more effectively by grouping information based on specific data layers.

Dollhouse Trim

Dollhouse Trim enhances the 3D representation of your space by hiding distracting mesh or unwanted artifacts.

Using Dollhouse Trim

Using Dollhouse Trim helps create a cleaner and more professional visual presentation by selectively hiding portions of the 3D mesh without removing essential data.

• Hide selected portions of the 3D mesh without removing them from the model, preserving underlying data while improving visual presentation.

Benefits of Dollhouse Trim

The benefits of Dollhouse Trim include improved visual aesthetics and consistency across all views and layers of your digital twin.
