Guidelines for getting the best results.
To avoid scanning errors, ensure that the Leica BLK360 is placed on a stable support, protected from any vibration or bumps while scanning the surroundings.
When planning a point cloud for a large irregular area, select multiple scan locations, each one including a significant number of points in the adjacent scans. Correctly overlapping scans in this way supports the automatic registration process.
Some physical materials do not respond well to the scanner. Small regions of these materials do not cause problems, but large expanses can disrupt results. Mirrors and windows can produce ghosting and reflections. Materials that absorb light can produce blank spots in the scan, preventing measurements from being captured.
The resolution setting affects the scan speed and the storage space required for the project. For some projects—such as a building interior survey to plan the arrangement of equipment—a quick, low-resolution scan without color is quite suitable. Other projects, such as a survey of floor flatness, require detailed high-resolution scans.
