BricsCAD vs. Matterport

It is possible to use BricsCAD in a free version over time except that it is considerably reduced in terms of functionality and performance. I especially like the collaboration, import and export features. These tools are important in that they allow you to exchange with the different teams involved in the project to make the necessary changes in time.

Since this is new enabling technology I'm waiting for feedback from our clients.

• 3D Modeling
• Machine learning / A.I.-assisted feature named PROPAGATE.

• Easy to capture the space.
• Easy to use and very intuitive.
• Easy to demonstrate to potential clients.

• there is not full compatibility with dynamic blocks but it isn't so bad -we can create them in AutoCAD and use them to some extent anyway
• it doesn't look as "sexy" and the interface looks kinda orimitive in some screens but the functionality is all there and the some
• there is the hurdle of users thinking they are getting a lesser product so more marketing pozazz is needed to get the message over it is a very capable product

• The Matterport Capture app has some bugs and issues where some scans don't align well and additional time is needed re-scan in the same location multiple times.

it's exteremly useable. AutoCAD users will carry over many eisting skills and learn some new ones on the cross over. It's fast adn lightweight meaning ot can be run on just about any PC. The help and support are realy good and problems are usually responded to within a day by experts.

Very cost-effective solution, it even supports pointclouds natively and is something we will investigate further as time goes on and may in fact utilise it to replace AutoCAD with 3rd party add-ins at some point in the future, and we hope it can further reduce costs in the long-run as it continues to develop and mature.

We have looked at other, "Matterport like" products. One of the greatest advantages Matterport has over the other products we have reviewed is the ability to automatically create 3d walkthroughs and host the walkthroughs where we need them. Many of the "Matterport like" apps focus on Showing existing homes and spaces. We have used Matterport for this purpose but our primary use is to show the process of a construction project from the beginning, throughout, and to the finished product.

• yearly subscription/update costs vastly reduced
• abiity to keep it up to date without bloated updates - the installer is smaller than many typical Autodesk service packs
• speed
• scripting/lisp routine suppport by default

• The greatest return on investment that Matterport has given my business is the amount of information we can have without having to go on-site multiple times.
• Before Matterport we would take hundreds of pictures of an existing space to try to gather the amount of information we needed. There would always be spots where the pictures we took do not give as much information as we hoped for. With Matterport you have 360 images where you can see much more.
