Part 4: 3D Scanning Best Practices

Scanning technique

Movement guidelines

Keep it linear: linear movements with minimal rotations help MAVO 3D process captured points accurately. The phone’s position tracking works best when it can predict your movement path.

Avoid excessive rotation: quick turns confuse the tracking system and reduce scan quality

Scanning strategy

Area by area approach: scan from floor to ceiling in each area before moving to the next section. Avoid scanning by horizontal layers - don’t do all floors first, then all walls, then all ceilings. Instead, section the room vertically and scan from floor to ceiling and back down in each section.

Why this matters: There isn’t enough detail for MAVO 3D to determine which points belong together when you jump between areas randomly.
