Things To Avoid Before A Site Scan

Preparing a site properly for LiDAR scanning is essential, but equally important is knowing what to avoid. Failing to follow certain protocols can lead to data gaps or unnecessary delays.

Avoid the following:

• Blocking access to scanning areas – Ensure all entry points and important zones are open.
• Leaving unnecessary equipment or furniture – Clear large objects that could obstruct the scan path.
• Making last-minute layout changes – Consistency is key; avoid moving elements during or before the scan.
• Disregarding lighting conditions – While LiDAR isn’t dependent on lighting, some visual deliverables benefit from proper visibility.
• Not informing team members – Ensure all site personnel are aware of the scan schedule to reduce interference.

Being proactive helps maximize the effectiveness of your LiDAR scan and reduces the chance of incomplete or unclear data.
