Yet again I am blown away by the capabilities of scanning and what it can produce. This recent project involved providing a structural model of a church for some engineers for some upcoming works. The brief required 3D locations and dimensions of all structural components being columns, archways, roof structures. In less than two days the field work was completed and a full 'point cloud' of the church internal and external was captured. A final 3D model of the church (pictured below) was then generated in AutoCAD format for the engineers. The complexity of structures and amount of detail captured is evident in this image of the final model. I'm just trying to figure out how this could be done without laser scanning.
