Ok the leica rep was trying to upgrade me to the Disto 3D which he said was infinitely easier to relocate. Small jump in price. I also found a local service which will do a leica BLK 360 cloud laser scan affordably. I’m going to try that Monday, to see if the cloud is too cumbersome to work with. Have you ever worked with the the cloud data that the BLK 360 generates?

Thanks Andrew! How did you handle complex sites where you have to move the tripod around to various areas, collecting more than 30 points?
I’m using Vectorworks. Thought someone in the thread was.

Good morning! In years past, I used an app called Orthograph to draft the house and yard in, and then use the disto 810 I had at the time to collect dimensions and edit the file on the ipad on the fly. When I left the site, I had a dwg file drawn up and ready to start working with.

I no longer have the 810, and am intrigued by the 910 and the 3D dxf point collection it can do. Not sure if that is overkill for what I need?
Looks like if I collect 3D points, I will still have to do the drafting back at my desk to get the as built plan. But maybe that is fast and easy to trace once you have the points to reference?

I’m trying to make sure I don’t get distracted by a cumbersome piece of technology that takes me from my goal of a 2D drafted as built plan as swiftly as possible.

Yes, I’m starting to work in 3D so I should get the 910 I am thinking and grow into it.
