What the E57 File Includes
Registered Point-Cloud Data With Scan-Level Context.
The E57 deliverable packages the spatial data project teams need for compatible 3D design, coordination and documentation workflows.
Cubemap Images
Cubemap imagery is included for each scan location, providing visual reference alongside the spatial data.
Structured Scan Data
Structured scan-position data is included for each scan location to preserve scan-level organization in the E57 deliverable.
AEC + Technical Use
A Practical Source File for 3D Collaboration and Existing-Condition Workflows.
E57 is most useful when architects, engineers, contractors, consultants or facility teams want registered point-cloud data they can bring into their own software environment.
Reference Existing Conditions in 3D.
Use the registered point cloud as a spatial reference for design, modeling, coordination and existing-condition review.
Support QA/QC and Project Review.
Bring captured conditions into compatible third-party tools to support coordination, documentation and verification workflows.
Preserve a Reusable Spatial Record.
Maintain a high-density 3D record of visible captured conditions for future planning, renovation or facility-reference needs.
Use a Vendor-Neutral Exchange Format.
E57 is designed for interoperability, making it useful when project teams need point-cloud data that is not tied to one software platform.
E57 Pricing
Simple Add-On Pricing for the Registered Point-Cloud File.
The E57 file is generated from a processed Matterport Space. Pinnacle field capture and other requested commercial services are priced separately.
Matterport Add-On Price
Matterport E57 add-on at $200. This price applies to the E57 file itself and does not include the cost of the original Matterport capture, site visit, travel, access requirements or other Pinnacle commercial services.
Matterport E57 Samples
Review Real E57 Deliverables Before Ordering.
The sample files are large, so allow adequate download time and verify that your workstation has sufficient available storage before downloading.
Matterport Pro3 E57 Sample
Review the associated Matterport model or download the 1.15 GB E57 sample file.
Matterport Pro2 E57 Sample
Review the associated Matterport model, download the 1.96 GB E57 sample, or compare the same workflow with a MatterPak sample.
Accuracy should be verified for critical operations. Matterport notes that point-cloud accuracy can vary based on the environment, scan density and capture equipment. Critical measurements and construction decisions should be independently verified where required.
Matterport E57 FAQ
Common Questions About Matterport E57 Files.
What is a Matterport E57 file?
It is a vendor-neutral registered point-cloud file generated from a Matterport Space for use in compatible 3D design, engineering, construction and facility-management applications.
What is included in the E57 deliverable?
The file includes a high-density colorized point cloud, cubemap images for each scan location and structured scan data for each scan position.
How long does E57 processing take?
Matterport states that E57 orders are generally ready within 1 to 24 hours depending on the size of the Space.
Can the E57 file be used in third-party software?
Yes. E57 is a vendor-neutral point-cloud format designed for import into many compatible 3D design and collaboration applications.
How large are E57 files?
E57 files can be very large. Matterport's published sample files range from approximately 1.15 GB to 1.96 GB, so adequate storage and download bandwidth should be available.
Is E57 the same as MatterPak?
No. E57 is a registered point-cloud deliverable with structured scan data. MatterPak is a broader bundle that includes an XYZ point cloud, OBJ mesh and plan images.
Is E57 the same as a BIM file?
No. E57 provides point-cloud source data. A BIM file is a separately modeled deliverable intended to provide a structured starting point for BIM workflows.
How accurate is the E57 point cloud?
Accuracy depends on factors such as the environment, scan density and capture equipment. Matterport recommends double-checking values when measurements are used for critical operations.
How long is E57 data retained?
Due to the size of E57 files, Matterport reserves the right to archive or delete E57 data after three years.
How do I request an E57 file from Pinnacle?
Use Pinnacle's Commercial Project Scope form and identify that an E57 point-cloud deliverable is required, along with the property address, approximate square footage, intended use and any other requested Matterport outputs.
