  • It might help if you added some more specific questions, and informed folks what kind of equipment you are using. There are many laser scanners and they work in different ways. 

    I would for instance turn on the Romer arm, connect to the scanner, wait for things to detect in RDS, then open PolyWorks and select the appropriate scanning profile for the level of detail required, hold the trigger and do an impersonation of a Jedi in combat, then hit finalize and save the data.
