E57 Files – The PDF of the 3D World

What is an E57 File?


The E57 file type is a compact, vendor-neutral pointcloud format that allows images captured in 3D to be shared for remote viewing. This gives the ability to extract data from a digital twin with ten times the detail of a traditional Matterpak.

What are the benefits of an E57 File?


E57 files give AEC professionals and designers the ability to collaborate more effectively which can save cost and reduce time during the work flow process. The additional detail of these files also give the best understanding of the space when viewing remotely.

Once a new home build begins, one of the next steps is to begin designing the interior of the space. A digital twin of a build in its infancy gives the builders, contractors, and buyers the remote access needed to reduce both cost and time during a project. In addition, it is a useful tool when designing the interior of the space. With both measurement and virtual staging capabilities, a virtual walk through gives a visual perspective that can only be matched by physically walking the property. 

INTERIOR DESIGN

Once a property is in its final building stages, planning the home decoration and design of the space is the next step! Metroplex 360 offers Matterport Scans, Interior and Exterior HDR Photography, Aerial Photography and Floor Plans making interior design planning a breeze! Potential buyers are able to get the entire visualization of a property and interior designers are able to use these elements within future portfolios.

MATTERTAGS

Implementing Mattertags within a Matterport Showcase provides added information to specific elements inside the space. Notated with a circular blue icon, these mattertags are easy to identify and can include a description of an item and pricing. Click on the example below to view a space captured by Metroplex 360 with this feature included!

Schematic Floor Plans

GIVE YOUR PROPERTY AN EXTRA LAYER OF VISUALIZATION

As creating a digital twin becomes more prevalent in the real estate industry, it is important not to exclude some of the more traditional methods of property marketing! Schematic floor plans are an essential and expected element that should be included in your marketing efforts.

FLOOR PLAN STRUCTURING

Giving a potential buyer or tenant a visual aid to understand the layout of a property adds a perspective of the space that differs from photographs or 3D scans. This perspective provides an overall view of the layout, flow and dimensions of each room, as well as the location of doorways and closets. 


INCLUDE SCHEMATIC FLOOR PLANS WITH A MATTERPORT SHOWCASE

Metroplex 360 is able to create a schematic floor plan based off of any past or future Matterport space with 2D, 3D and colorized options available.

Virtual Staging for Property Photographs & Digital Twins

Virtual staging showcases the potential that a space has by digitally including a number of elements that help a remote viewer envision themselves there. These elements can include styling the interior of the space with your preferred style of furniture and decor, or enhancing landscape and twilight in exterior photographs. Let’s take a closer look at how Metroplex 360 can elevate your property in as little as 3 to 4 days!

EXAMPLES OF VIRTUAL STAGING

Metroplex 360 offers a variety of staging styles that give you the flexibility to design the space to target a specific audience. This gives your space an impressive online presence during a potential buyer’s initial online search. Not only are we able to digitally add elements, but digitally removing elements becomes helpful if a space needs decluttering or can provide privacy to a current resident. 

VIRTUAL TWILIGHT

Whether a commercial, multi-family or residential property, the exterior shot of your property often becomes the featured photograph when creating an online presence. Outside elements are not always ideal during the scheduled photo session and can impact the overall appearance of your property. Having the option to capture the perfect lighting without having to reschedule is not only cost effective, but can speed up the time frame for listing a property.

360 IMAGE VIRTUAL STAGING

Matterport Showcases and 3D Tours are quickly becoming the standard in remote viewing of a property. With that in mind, being able to virtually stage a digital twin is not as standard! Metroplex 360 is able to offer staging services within a 3D capture as well as photographs, and this includes any past captures done by Metroplex 360!

LINKING MULTIPLE SPACES INTO ONE SHOWCASE

One feature that may be beneficial to your space, is linking several digital twin scans into a single showcase. This can be helpful when you have multiple spaces that are not physically linked. This gives your intended viewer one showcase link that they are able to click through, without the hassle of toggling between multiple links to get the full picture.

LOGO INPUT OPTIONS

Strategically placing a logo within your digital twin adds consistency to your business and your businesses branding strategy. It has become increasingly more important to input a logo as an added detail in order to stand apart from competing virtual tours. A banner logo can be added to display during the loading process of the virtual tour, as well as into the details summary page.

Benefits of Restoration Digital Twins

Reduce Cost and Gain Productivity Using Matterport & TruePlan for Xactimate

XACTIMATE PLAN IN AS LITTLE AS 48 HOURS*

starting at $79

Automating the measure, sketch draft process not only saves time and money but ultimately enables property insurance professionals to focus on what only humans can do – taking care of policyholders when they are affected by a loss.

Hayley Davidson, Owner of Metroplex 360

Whether you are a property owner, builder, restoration expert, subcontractor or insurance adjuster, the benefits of creating a digital twin during a restoration or renovation process are huge; reducing cost and time, while gaining productivity and efficiency during the project.

ACCURATE MEASUREMENTS

One of the most time-consuming processes during a restoration project is the need to physically return to a site for the purpose of re-measuring. The measurement tool within the Matterport showcase allows anyone to remotely measure a space with a click of the mouse, which reaps multiple benefits for all entities involved with the restoration process. At 99% accuracy, and the ability to measure from any angle, this unquestionable documentation is accepted by most insurance adjusters as well!

QUICKLY ESTIMATE REPAIRS

Another benefit of adopting a Matterport 3D Digital Twin during the rebuilding process is the ability to expedite the claims process which reduces the wait time for repairs. Documenting damages with digital accuracy removes the obstacle of lost or inadequate pictures and notes. Utilizing a Matterport 3D scan of the damaged space allows faster communication with insurance carriers and gives all parties the opportunity to walk through the space to validate losses and damages.

EASY TO SHARE

Sharing a digital twin of your space is as simple as sending an email or posting a status update. Once the space is captured and processed a sharable link is available for anyone to virtually visit & walk through the space. Whether accessing via mobile device, tablet or desktop, the same tools and capabilities are available.
