What Is the MatterPak Bundle? Your Complete Guide to Matterport's Raw Data Exports

## Beyond the Walkthrough: Matterport's Hidden Data Layer Every Matterport scan generates far more than a beautiful 3D virtual tour. Beneath the immersive navigation experience lies a rich dataset of spatial information — millimetre-accurate geometry, colourised depth data, and textured 3D meshes — that can be unlocked and exported for use in professional design, engineering, and construction workflows. The **MatterPak™ bundle** is Matterport's primary post-production export package. It is the bridge between a photorealistic virtual tour and a fully workable dataset for architects, structural engineers, interior designers, CGI artists, and construction teams. --- ## What's Inside the MatterPak Bundle? The MatterPak™ export contains four core deliverable types: ### 1. Colorised Point Cloud (.XYZ) A dense, accurate point cloud of the entire scanned space, colourised using the visual data captured during the Matterport scan. Accurate to within **1% of reality**, this file can be imported directly into: - **Autodesk ReCap** for reality capture workflows - **Autodesk Revit** via the free Matterport Revit plugin (available on the Autodesk App Store) - **AutoCAD** for 2D and 3D drafting - **3ds Max, Rhino, and other professional 3D applications** The point cloud serves as the dimensional foundation for any downstream modelling or documentation work — giving architects and engineers a spatially accurate reference that eliminates the need for a second site visit to collect measurements. ### 2. 3D Mesh File (.OBJ + .JPG Textures) A full, textured 3D mesh of the scanned space exported in the universally compatible OBJ format, accompanied by the necessary JPG texture map files. This asset is ideal for: - **CGI and visualisation studios** — import directly into 3ds Max, Blender, Cinema 4D, or Unreal Engine as a photorealistic spatial reference - **Virtual staging** — use the mesh as a geometric base for furniture and interior design overlays - **Architectural review** — navigate the 3D geometry in a dedicated 3D application with full model control - **Game and simulation environments** — repurpose the mesh geometry for VR training simulations or real-time applications ### 3. High-Resolution Floor Plan (.JPG + .PDF) Automatically generated from the scan data, the floor plan provides a dimensionally accurate top-down view of every floor level within the scanned space. Delivered as: - Individual **.JPG files** for each floor level - A single consolidated **.PDF** covering all floors These floor plans are used by real estate agents, hotel sales teams, event planners, and architects as a fast, reliable spatial reference — without requiring a separate measurement visit or manual drafting. ### 4. Reflected Ceiling Plan (.JPG + .PDF) A reflected ceiling plan (RCP) captures the ceiling geometry and any visible ceiling-mounted elements — essential for MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) coordination, lighting design, and HVAC planning. Delivered in the same format as the standard floor plan. --- ## Autodesk Revit Integration Matterport offers a **free Revit plugin**, available directly from the Autodesk App Store, that allows architects and BIM coordinators to import XYZ point cloud files from their MatterPak directly into a Revit project — without any intermediate file conversion. This integration dramatically accelerates the as-built documentation workflow: 1. Complete a Matterport scan of the existing space 2. Export the MatterPak bundle from your Matterport account 3. Import the XYZ point cloud directly into Revit using the plugin 4. Use the spatially accurate cloud as a modelling reference for your Revit BIM --- ## Who Should Use the MatterPak Bundle? **Architects & Structural Engineers** Eliminate time-consuming manual measurements and second site visits. Use the point cloud and floor plans as an accurate as-built reference to drive renovation, refurbishment, or new design work. **Interior Designers** Import the OBJ mesh into your visualisation pipeline and create photorealistic renders within the actual spatial geometry of the project — no guesswork, no approximation. **CGI & Visualisation Studios** Use the textured OBJ mesh as a photorealistic set reference, or as a base geometry layer within your rendering pipeline for product visualisation and spatial storytelling. **Construction Project Managers** Use the point cloud and floor plans to track construction progress, verify contractor deliverables against design intent, and document as-built conditions at every project milestone. **Facility Managers** Maintain an accurate, always-accessible digital record of every managed space — available for reference without scheduling a site visit. --- ## How to Order a MatterPak The MatterPak bundle is available as a paid add-on for any Matterport space on a compatible subscription plan: 1. Log into your Matterport account at my.matterport.com 2. Select the model you wish to export under **All Spaces** 3. Click the **Export** button in the upper right of the Space Details page 4. Select **MatterPak** from the available export options 5. Confirm the order — your files will be processed and ready for download > **Note:** Add-Ons must be enabled in your account settings by an account administrator before MatterPak exports are available. --- ## 360INT and MatterPak: From Scan to Deliverable At 360INT, the MatterPak bundle is a standard part of our professional workflow for clients in architecture, hospitality design, real estate development, and facilities management. We capture with precision, ensuring optimal scan density and alignment quality — because the accuracy of your MatterPak exports is entirely dependent on the quality of the original capture. If your project requires post-production exports beyond the standard Matterport workflow — including BIM files, custom floor plan formatting, or integration with specific AEC software packages — our team can advise on the right output strategy for your project requirements.
