Frequently asked questions
The Pro3 uses LiDAR with a 100-meter range, captures outdoors, and exports point clouds. The Pro2 is indoor-only with structured light. Choose the Pro3 for AEC, industrial, and outdoor work; the Pro2 for indoor marketing tours.
Choose Matterport for the most immersive, marketing-grade walk-through and point-cloud export. Choose iGUIDE when millimeter-accurate floor plans and verified square footage are the priority. Many projects use both.
The iGUIDE Planix Pro is purpose-built for dimensioned, millimeter-accurate floor plans and area reports. Matterport also produces floor plans, but iGUIDE leads on measurement accuracy.
The Matterport Pro3 is the clear choice for outdoor capture, with LiDAR and a 100-meter range. The Pro2 is indoor-only and the iGUIDE has limited outdoor capability.
