Methods
How handheld scanning works
Open a topic. Method tables use the same chrome as the model compare.
Walk-through 3D capture you carry on site
A handheld LiDAR scanner builds a colourised point cloud as you move. Interiors, stairwells, tunnels and under canopy become measurable geometry without a drone or a room of tripods.
You leave with measured data for review and CAD underlay. Not a finished drawing set.
A colourised cloud you can check before you leave
You walk the site. The scanner builds the cloud as you go. Check coverage on site. Miss a wing and it stays missing. Rescan before you leave.
Relative vs absolute accuracy
Relative accuracy asks whether the cloud holds together. Absolute asks whether it sits on a real-world datum. Outdoors, C1 Pro and C10 can take AUSCORS NTRIP. Indoors you still bridge with SLAM or control.
When drones still win
Open yards, roofs and large outdoor surfaces are usually faster from the air. Handheld wins under canopy, indoors and in tunnels. Most whole-site jobs use more than one method and register the clouds together.
Methods compared
Tick wins often. Dash can work with a plan. Cross is usually the wrong tool.

After the walk: Studio and MapShare
Process in SHARE PointClouds Studio for CAD-ready clouds. MapShare is included so the client opens a link instead of a ZIP.
By job
Applications
Pick the job closest to yours.
-
As-built surveying
Capture what was actually built, not what was drawn. Interiors on foot, roofs and yards from the air, one registered model.
-
Scan to BIM
A cloud the modeller can actually work from. Walk the building, hand over geometry that snaps.
-
Renovation and interiors
Walk the space once. Leave with every dimension, including the ones you did not know you needed.
-
Heritage and documentation
A permanent record of the fabric as it stands. Walk the interior, fly the roof.

What you walk away with
Questions, answered
Choosing
How do I pick between C1, C1 Pro and C10?
Start with what you have to hand over. SHARE C1 for interiors and GPS-denied work when you already handle control. SHARE C1 Pro when the same walk goes indoor and outdoor and needs AUSCORS NTRIP. C10 when the site is long, plant-heavy or complex enough that lighter units drift. The compare table on this page is the short version.
C1 or C1 Pro for renovation work?
SHARE C1 if most of the job is indoors or covered and you are fine placing control. SHARE C1 Pro if outdoor legs need the cloud on real-world coordinates without a second setup. We downsell when C1 is enough.
When do we need C10 instead of C1 Pro?
Long traverses, large plant, multi-storey mixes, pits and sites where C1-class units start to bend. C10-16 gets you into the range. C10-32 when density matters. C10-32 Pro when you need the longer range. Bring the brief if the call is close.
Buying
Do I need a CASA licence to use one?
No. Handheld LiDAR scanners are not aircraft. You do not need a CASA remote pilot licence for these units. That is different from our drone range, where CASA rules apply to the aircraft and the operation.
What does a handheld LiDAR scanner cost in Australia?
On this page, SHARE C1 is from $6,199 and SHARE C1 Pro is $7,999. SHARE C10-16 is $13,999, C10-32 is $21,999, and C10-32 Pro is $31,999 (AUD incl. GST, Melbourne stock). Kit options and training change the total. Ask for a quote if you need a full kit price.
Can I hire or trial one before buying?
Yes. Hire and rent-to-try are available on selected kits so you can prove the workflow on a real site before you commit. Book a demo or ask for current hire availability.
How much can I cover in a day?
It depends on the site, not the brochure. A clean interior floor plate can be a few thousand square metres in a day on SHARE C1 or C1 Pro if you plan loops and check coverage as you go. Plant, multi-level cores and feature-poor corridors slow you down. C10 helps on long traverses. We size the day against your deliverable on the demo.
Accuracy
What do the accuracy numbers actually mean?
Relative accuracy is how well the cloud holds together. Absolute accuracy is how well it sits on a datum. RTK helps outdoors with AUSCORS NTRIP. Indoors you still bridge with SLAM or control. Density is a separate question. Do not mix the three in a tender sentence.
Will glass, mirrors and shiny metal scan cleanly?
Often poorly. Same story for thin cables and feature-poor corridors. Plan the path, add loops, verify the hard bits by hand. No handheld SLAM magics that away.
Workflow
Is the point cloud a finished CAD or BIM model?
No. It is measured data you review, measure and model against. Draft tools help. Final drawings still need a human against your standards.
What software do we use day to day?
Capture on site. PointClouds Studio to process and check. MapShare when you want to send a client a link instead of a ZIP. Most deliveries leave as LAS, LAZ, E57 or PLY. Optional PLY splats stay aligned for rendering elsewhere.
Support
We missed a room. Can software invent it?
No. Check coverage before you leave and rescan. That habit is part of handover.
