I have looked at a bunch of different options for this type of modeling, and there is just no question that these guys are the leader in the industry. From ease of use and creation to being able to view these models on mobile these guys just keep pushing what is possible in the 3D space.
They have recently introduced measurements, meaning you can actually take measurements of the physical space from within the model, and I gotta tell you: I tested this out on house that may or may not be season 2 of TheBuild, and was literally able to redraw the entire home in Chief Architect from measurements I was taking inside the Matterport model….when I went back to the house with a tape measure and my plans to confirm…wait for it…I was within 1” of actual, which is mind-blowing-ly accurate.
The possibilities with this type of technology are incredible for anyone in the construction / design / real estate fields…or really anyone who wants to be able to showoff their physical space in a digital environment.
You can check out the 3D models of the firehouse at various stages of construction here…and after the last episode of TheBuild is live I will be posting my finished home.

digital 3d model
Our Cortex AI platform is a powerful deep learning neural network that creates your 3D digital twin and automates many of the tasks associated with customization. Cortex handles the most complex tasks from 3D reconstruction, image processing and color correction, to labeling rooms and the objects in each room. Additional features include:
Auto generate the most appealing photos and videos from within the digital twin
Create accurate measurements and dimensions of entire spaces
Automatic face blurring for privacy, and much more
Once your 3D digital twin is created, customize the 3D walkthrough, add to, modify, and annotate your space.
Create videos and guided tours
Trim your video and setting starting points
Incorporate Mattertags™ with texts, links, and videos
