Introduction: aims; the Heritage3D project; three-dimensional recording; questions laser scanning can help to answer; tasks appropriate for laser scanning; what laser scanning cannot provide How does laser scanning work?: instrumentation and hardware; software; computer hardware Commissioning survey: knowing what you want; determining appropriate point density; finding a contractor; laser safety; archived data sources From point cloud to useful information: typical workflows; cloud alignment/registration; modelling; analysis Managing data: reprocessing data; data formats and archiving; metadata Helping you to decide: what outputs are wanted?; how big is the subject?; what level of accuracy is required?; what resolution of measurement?; does the survey need to be referenced?; time and access restrictions?; is three-dimensional information required?; budget; can you do this yourself?; what are the alternatives? Where to find out more: charters and guidance; organiations; books; journals and conference proceedings; websites; training -- Glossary -- Case study summaries -- Case study contributions

Guidance has been published with the intention of aiding readers to use laser scanning successfully within projects. Also provides information on other surveying techniques that might provide the same quality of three-dimensional information dependant upon application.
