Feature:
Space Updating
If you need to add or update areas of a space that you have already created a skin for, you can simply exchange or update the Matterport Space ID in the respective skin - without having to redo all of your MPskin content!
With our “Update with new tour” feature, you can even transfer tags and VS objects from one tour to another.
If spaces need to be rescanned or updated, it usually means a lot of work - tags and virtual staging elements need to be reset, content needs to be re-entered.
With MPskins features, you can easily transfer almost all tour content to a new or updated space!
When Matterport spaces are updated or completely rescanned, all internal coordinates of the space change as well. This means that tags are no longer in the correct position after an update.
With our new ‘Update’ feature, coordinates of an old tour can be aligned to a new tour by using three alignment points, so tags and virtual staging elements do not need to be repositioned!
If you manage several spaces that have the same layout (as with multi-storey, identical floors), you can also use the ‘Update’ feature! This makes it easy to transfer tags and VS elements from one space to another.
To do this, the original tour must first be duplicated so that you can add the new space ID in the duplicate during the alignment process.
You can find a short guide here:
It is generally advisable to create a copy of the original tour before the realignment - if problems occur during the realignment, the process can always be restarted.
There is also a ‘Preview’ mode during the realignment, allowing you to check the result before saving.
Unfortunately not, deep links have to be updated manually after the realignment.
We hope to be able to implement this as a feature in the future!
Yes, realignment can be used for all Matterport Spaces - regardless of when and with which camera the Space was scanned.
Yes!
Tags, the menu and virtual staging elements are transferred to the new space after the update.
An exception are sweep actions and other scans/floor settings! They must be manually set up in the new space.
If your Matterport spaces are password-protected, the password must be temporarily removed, at least for the ‘new’ space.
As there is currently no field in which the password of the new space can be entered, only spaces without a password can be used for updating.
Of course, you can put a password back on the Matterport space immediately after the successful realignment and then enter it in the base settings of the skin.
