Drink Sword and a C10

Submission by: Thad Wester, Clarity Scanning

On a recent project in Las Vegas we rented a C10 locally.  Once onsite, I realized it was missing the on-board red pen to control the touch screen with.  The location we were scanning had an empty bar, and I luckily I was able to find a plastic drink sword which did the trick :)

Submission by: Steven Ramsey, Leica Geosystems

Back in fall of 2012.  Testing out the capabilities of the new Leica P20.  Turns out its fast enough to capture a wake boarder in mid-flight!

covert scanning ops

Submission by: Thad Wester, Clarity Scanning

One of our Architect clients wanted to scan a golf clubhouse for preliminary design and renderings, pre-award, but couldn't obtain permission from the client to survey onsite.

Mission: to acquire 3D point cloud behind property lines undetected :)

Outcome: Single setup was collected, and basic dimensions for preliminary design were extracted in Revit.

Umbrella car

Submission by: Thad Wester, Clarity Scanning

Project from last fall.  Saw chance of rain, but had already booked flights.  Rented a car with rear hatch that provided some flexibility during mist or light rain, and let me complete the project on-time.
