From BIM to historic preservation, new projects and restoration, surveys are an integral part of our work. LiDAR technology is currently being used to increase the speed, efficiency and accuracy in documenting existing conditions as well as in several areas of our profession. This is Part 2 of a two-part series focusing on bringing the LiDAR scan 3D point cloud into the design and production software used by architects."]]],[1,"p",[[0,[],0,"Our presenter is Small Firm Forum member "],[0,[0],1,"Aaron Parks"],[0,[],0," and his team from "],[0,[0],1,"Walden Engineering Consultants, Inc."],[0,[],0," Please join us for a presentation and round-table discussion on this intriguing topic."]]],[1,"p",[[0,[0],1,"Learning Objectives"]]],[3,"ol",[[[0,[],0,"1.
