The week our site scanner went down and we had to go back to paper
Last Tuesday, the main server for our 3D site scanner crashed hard. We're building a 12-story apartment block in Denver, and for three days, we couldn't get any new scans. The foreman pulled out the old paper plot plans and a couple of us had to manually verify every footing location. We measured over 150 points by hand with a tape and a laser. It was slow, and we caught two small errors the scanner would have flagged instantly. Honestly, it made me appreciate the tech way more. Has anyone else had a major tool failure that sent you back to the old ways?

Wow, that's brutal. So you actually found errors the old way that the tech missed? That's wild. Makes you wonder, right? Like @finley_wells66 called it torture, but was it worth it for catching those mistakes? Do you think you'll double-check the scanner's work more often now, or just trust it again?
