Very cool indeed Tyke. Would it be possible to get access to larger images of the ones posted?

 

Yes, PM me with your email address and I'll send you some. Any particular images?

Cool survey data. That castle looks a bit like Colditz!

 

No it's not Colditz it's Wildenfels near to Zwickau, Germany. Colditz is not that far away and it's always on the list of places when we visitors from UK. They totally renovated the place a few years ago and made it into a museum. You can even get guided tours in English if you let them know when you are coming, they did our last one for free but I think that there is a small charge now. A very interesting place, I can well recommend a visit.

Snow clearing is a devil of a job though and it does my back in.

They had removed the old floorboards around the edges of the room so that we could survey the floor joist and get a precise level on each one.

In the section you can see how the ceilings sag and how their thickness's vary. No way you can get that amount of detail with a tape or Disto, well not in a realistic time. We needed 15 minutes per room from walking in to walking out finished. Drawing it all up takes a little longer than normal, but look at the amount of detail there is to draw up.

What was a pity was that the architects only wanted 2D AutoCAD drawings, because they can't handle 3D! The 3D scan data is all still there if it ever will be needed. By the way that job takes up over 400 GB on the server!
