Georeferencing ties a laser scan to real-world coordinates — essential for site, civil, and multi-building projects.

Autodesk ReCap turns raw laser scans into registered point clouds you can use in Revit and AutoCAD.

A mesh turns a point cloud into a continuous surface — here is the difference and when you need each.

Scan resolution and point density control how much detail a laser scan captures — and how big the files get.

Terrestrial, handheld, and mobile laser scanning each trade accuracy for speed — here is when to use each.

Registration is how individual laser scans are aligned into one accurate model — the step that determines survey-grade accuracy.
