01 / CAPTURE
Keep moving through the space
Handheld scanning fits a walk-through approach to documenting interiors. Plan a route that covers the rooms, connections and details your project needs.
CHCNAV RS7 · Handheld LiDAR + SLAM
Walk the space.
Capture the detail.
Turn existing buildings into useful 3D data with the CHCNAV RS7 handheld laser scanner.
A practical capture tool for surveyors, architects and teams planning what comes next.

A clearer starting point
for your next project.
Give your team a spatial record to work from. Explore the geometry, revisit the captured scene and plan the next step with more context than photographs alone.
02 / UNDERSTAND
Bring the site back to the office
Use a 3D record to help colleagues understand existing conditions and identify the areas that need closer attention.
03 / COMMUNICATE
Make the next conversation clearer
Discuss a renovation, survey brief or documentation requirement around a shared view of the space.
Motion tracking
Designed for challenging interiors.
INS and SLAM work together to support tracking through corridors, stairs and repetitive spaces. The high-precision IMU helps where distinctive geometric features are limited.
Indoor mappingINS + SLAMCoverage and context
Capture above, around and ahead.
The wide LiDAR view helps capture ceilings and confined areas. Colour imagery adds visual context when reviewing the scan.
Choose the processing workflow that suits your deliverable: a point cloud for spatial work, a mesh, or a 3D Gaussian Splatting visualisation.
Output availability depends on the selected software and configuration.
Where it fits
Start with the job you need to do.
Bring your project brief to a demonstration and assess the result against your required detail, coverage and deliverables.
ARCHITECTURAL SURVEYS
Document existing spaces
Create a spatial reference for measured building surveys and downstream drawing or modelling work.
RENOVATION PLANNING
Understand before you redesign
Review room layouts, circulation and existing geometry as part of your planning process.
HERITAGE DOCUMENTATION
Record the details that matter
Build a digital record of spaces and architectural features for documentation and visual review.
INDOOR ASSET DOCUMENTATION
Put assets in spatial context
Capture the surrounding environment to help your team discuss access, layout and documentation needs.
From site to deliverable
A workflow you can evaluate end to end.
01
Capture & review
Use SmartGo Neo to control capture and view the point cloud in the field. Check coverage before leaving the site.
02
Process the data
Discuss CoPre and CoCloud processing options, including the licences and connectivity your workflow requires.
03
Put the results to work
Review the outputs in your intended design or documentation process. Confirm file formats and compatibility before choosing a package.

Before you choose
Your RS7 questions, answered.
Have a specific site or output in mind? Tell us what you need to deliver.
Talk to MMS Design →Can I scan indoors without GNSS?
Yes. SLAM supports indoor capture without relying on GNSS. Route planning, scene geometry and capture technique still matter.
What can I produce from a scan?
Compatible processing software supports point clouds, mesh models and 3D Gaussian Splatting outputs. Tell us which file formats and downstream applications you need so we can confirm the workflow.
Is processing software included?
Package inclusions vary. Ask for a quote that clearly lists the scanner, accessories, software licences and any training or support services you require.
How much does the RS7 cost?
Request a configuration-based quotation from MMS Design. Share your application and required outputs so the proposed package addresses your actual needs.
Can I see the results before choosing?
Request an RS7 demonstration and discuss a representative site or project. Agree on the capture and deliverables you would like to evaluate.
Your project. Your package.
Make your next site visit count.
Tell us what you survey, the outputs you need and the software you use. We’ll help you discuss the right RS7 configuration and demonstration.
Useful details to include: project type, typical site size, required deliverables and training needs.
