# Setup types

After creating new project, the next step is to select the setup method.

   
There are two methods of setting up the new space. You can create a visualization of your space based on a Matterport link or import one of your Stages from the Stages application.

#### **Matterport**

<table border="1" id="bkmrk-%C2%A0-by-selecting-the-m" style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%; border-width: 0px;"><colgroup><col style="width: 76.6667%;"></col><col style="width: 23.3333%;"></col></colgroup><tbody><tr><td style="border-width: 0px;">![image.png](https://docs.sim-on.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-03/scaled-1680-/g1Simage.png)

By selecting **Matterport**, you’ll be asked if you want to import rooms for your space from a selected smart home provider or create rooms yourself, then follow up with Matterport scan Linking.

<p class="callout info">Space import process is the same for each of the setting up methods -   
you can import rooms automatically or create custom rooms yourself</p>

- Automatic room import - you need to choose the provider, log in to your account and your rooms will be imported according to the provider you choose. All devices will be imported automatically too.

- Manual room setup - you need to enter names of the rooms you want to add. It will create a list of rooms that you’ll be able to assign in the 3D walk.
- After naming all rooms (*or part of them, you can always add/modify/remove rooms later*), you can click on the ![NEXT.png](https://docs.sim-on.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-07/scaled-1680-/next.png) button and paste Matterport link or log in to your Matterport account to select the space you want to use. After clicking ![NEXT.png](https://docs.sim-on.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-07/scaled-1680-/next.png) and checking if the summary looks okay, you can click confirm.
