Abstract

A survey instrument comprising a single point and a point cloud measuring functionality, a communication interface, and a computing unit. The point cloud measuring functionality configured to emit a scanning beam along a first measuring axis and to advance the first measuring axis along a scanning pattern. The point cloud measuring functionality is configured to generate point cloud data representing a setting. The single point measuring functionality is configured to emit a measuring beam along a second measuring axis. The first measuring axis is referenced to the second measuring axis. The communication interface is configured to receive model data representing at least a part of the setting and comprising referencing data to an external coordinate system. The computing unit is configured to identify cardinal features in the point cloud data as well as in the model data.
