A property tour shows people what a space feels like. A schematic floor plan helps them understand how it fits together.
Together, these tools make it easier to review a layout, share property information and plan what comes next, without waiting weeks for a separate drawing process. With Matterport, a 3D scan can be used to order a schematic 2D floor plan, giving you a practical visual reference from the captured space.
A 3D scan. A 2D plan, fast.
A Matterport scan captures a navigable view of a space. From the processed model, a schematic floor plan can show the layout, room labels and dimensions. It turns a scan into a document that’s easy to share with leasing teams, property managers, prospective tenants, retail staff and restoration partners.
Matterport lists standard schematic floor-plan delivery within 48 hours. Eligible spaces under 10,000 square feet may qualify for faster 24-hour or six-hour options, subject to plan requirements. Delivery times exclude weekends and holidays and can be affected by technical issues or unusually high demand. Check the Matterport ordering details for current eligibility and conditions.
That’s a useful change of pace when a property needs to be presented, reviewed or documented quickly. Instead of starting a separate drawing workflow, you can build on information already captured in the scan.
One capture. More ways to use the space.
A floor plan is valuable on its own. Paired with a 3D tour, it gives viewers both a quick overhead reference and a way to explore the property in context. Matterport plans can be delivered as PNG and SVG files, plus a PDF combining floors.

Skymattix Scans offers a downloadable schematic floor plan as an optional deliverable. Tell us what you need when you request an estimate, and we’ll confirm the project scope and deliverables with your quote.
For commercial real estate: help prospects assess the fit
A listing photo can catch someone’s eye. A plan helps them consider how the space might work.
Share the 2D plan alongside a tour so prospective tenants can understand the relationship between offices, shared areas and circulation. It gives distributed decision-makers a common reference before a site visit and can make the follow-up conversation more focused.
For larger portfolios, a consistent scan-and-plan process can also make it easier to compare spaces and keep visual property information accessible. See how commercial real estate scans can support property marketing and leasing.
For rental property managers: make layouts easier to review
When people are comparing rentals remotely, understanding room connections and general layout can help them decide whether to take a closer look. A floor plan provides a quick overview; a tour adds the visual detail.
For property teams, scan-derived information can also help with planning maintenance or discussing a space with colleagues who aren’t on site. The more complete the capture, the more useful the reference. Make sure the required rooms and areas are accessible during scanning.
Use the plan as a communication and planning aid, not a substitute for verifying a critical measurement at the property.
For retail: give teams a shared view
Store layouts change. Displays move. Teams still need to understand how departments and customer routes connect.
A floor plan paired with an interactive tour gives retail teams a shared visual reference for discussing merchandising, showroom organization and potential refreshes. Customers can also explore a showroom before visiting and get a clearer sense of its layout.
For insurance and restoration: document the space sooner
After damage, teams need a clear record of the property to support review and planning. A Matterport scan can preserve a view of the captured conditions, while a schematic plan offers a quick layout reference for conversations among stakeholders.
For eligible estimating workflows, Matterport’s TruePlan for Xactimate is a separate product designed to create an Xactimate-compatible sketch. It should not be confused with a standard schematic floor plan.
Matterport’s ATI Restoration case study reports faster estimating and fewer site visits using its scan and TruePlan workflow. Those results are specific to the case study, not a guarantee for every project, but they show how scan-based documentation can help restoration teams move information between people more efficiently.
“Accurate” means useful, and clearly scoped
Schematic floor plans are based on scan data, but Matterport states that their dimensions are approximate and may vary. They are intended for illustrative purposes and are not recommended as construction blueprints.
That distinction matters. Use a scan-derived plan to support marketing, early space planning, communication and general review. If a dimension will inform construction, a legal agreement, code compliance or another critical decision, verify it independently with the appropriate professional or measurement method.
Capture quality matters too. If a room, doorway or relevant area is missed or difficult to interpret in the scan, the plan may not represent it as you expect. Plan scan coverage around the areas you need documented, and flag restricted access before the appointment.
From scan to shareable plan
Getting started is straightforward:
- Set the purpose. Decide whether the plan will support leasing, a rental listing, retail coordination or restoration documentation.
- Prepare the space. Confirm access and identify any areas that should not be captured.
- Capture the layout. Skymattix Scans visits the property to scan the agreed areas.
- Choose your deliverables. Ask for an optional schematic floor plan with your quote.
- Share with the right people. Use the plan and tour as clear, connected references.

FAQ: Schematic floor plans from Matterport scans
How quickly can I get a Matterport schematic floor plan?
Matterport lists regular delivery within 48 hours. Eligible spaces under 10,000 square feet may qualify for 24-hour or six-hour options. Times exclude weekends and holidays, and conditions or delays can apply. Confirm current availability when ordering.
What’s included in a schematic floor plan?
Matterport’s schematic plans can include room labels and dimensions. Individual floors are delivered as PNG and SVG files, with a PDF combining the floors. What appears depends on what was captured and the options selected.
Are Matterport floor plans accurate enough for construction?
Matterport describes schematic-plan dimensions as approximate and says the plans are not recommended as blueprints. Verify critical dimensions independently before construction, contractual or code-related use.
Can I get a floor plan from a retail or commercial scan?
Yes, a schematic floor plan can be ordered from an eligible Matterport model. Skymattix Scans offers downloadable schematic floor plans as an optional deliverable. Include your requirements when requesting a quote.
Is a schematic floor plan the same as TruePlan for Xactimate?
No. A schematic floor plan is a general 2D layout document. TruePlan for Xactimate is a separate workflow for producing an Xactimate-compatible sketch. Check the product requirements for your estimating needs.
What should I do before the scan?
Make sure the agreed areas are accessible, identify any rooms that should remain private, and tell your scanning team what the plan needs to support. Good preparation helps the scan reflect the space you want people to review.
