A feature that could really improve our workflow efficiency and offer long-term value to us: The ability to reinsert an updated Matterport scan into an existing Treedis project without having to rebuild everything.

A real-world example: a museum that has changed just one of its exhibits, a university or a hotel that has refreshed their foyer area but everything else has stayed the same. There are many examples of this type of small refresh. They ask you a seemingly simple thing: “Please just update this one room.” But if you’ve ever tried, you know it’s not possible.

Unfortunately, when you reupload the updated Matterport scan and insert it into Treedis (replacing the old outdated Matterport URL), it will not work.

The scan itself is usually the quickest part. We all know the real time and effort go into building the Treedis layer: panoramas, tags, image inserts, sound, navigation, branding.

For anybody that has had to go and update a Treedis project, you’ll understand when a Matterport scan URL is changed once you re-upload from the scan app, it generates a new model ID and URL. That breaks the link to the original Treedis project, meaning all enhancements are lost. You can’t just reapply them. This makes it difficult to offer clients a simple refresh when only part of the space has changed.

A solution could be:

The ability to fully back up and export the Treedis project not only panos, but tags, images, sounds, locations, the position of everything.

The ability to open the new slightly changed or updated Matterport project, then import the full Treedis backup—saving tens of hours of hard work.

This would make it much easier to offer scalable refresh services and speed up turnaround times.

Thanks for considering it.
