@StevenHattan OMG lol that was a challenge but you nailed it!

Just one question... Did you have to do this after hours during the week or did they let you in on the weekend - since there aren't any people in the scan? I'm just curious working around people and their working hours...

We did a scan of a factory workshop and had to wait until Friday afternoons when the workers got off at noon, then the boss stayed with us for 3 hours until it was done, but he was a former client of mine and willing... I suppose not many bosses would be willing to do that???

@StevenHattan @Marcel @BrianM How do you deal with that???

Ditto, I try to get weekends. I did a job once, 12 levels of 2000sqm each. It took a couple of weekends, 10 hrs per day straight. The worst was, that due to the sensitivity of the tenant (lawyer firms), I had to be accompanied by a security guard the whole time. He was not allowed to leave my side. Safe to say I got to know each guard pretty well and they learnt fast how not to get into my scans.

edit-- and some of the office I had to cover every photo, logo, name tag, document with paper, plastic sheets etc. was very painful.

But yes to scan during office hours (I've done many) is painful. Guaranteed you'll ask a person to move out of an office so you can scan, you say it will take 2 minutes, but the ****ing camera does a misalignment and it ends up takes 5 -10 min.

HAHA.. no the bad F word. That what you end up saying when you get a misalignment. I'm sure you agree?

Well here it is!

It took about 4 hours onsite and ~190-195 scans (some no alignments, some deleted onsite to fix alignment errors, and others deleted in post).

The space had no HVAC running so it was about 80-85° F inside (very hot moving around).

Total area ~26,000 SF.

Thanks for the tips!

Looks like you went thru hell to get it done. If it is ok i would love to show it to a commercial prospect here in Austin.
