The file 'Holden Observatory — 3D Scanning A Full Size Building! 3D Printer Model' is (stl) file type, size is 18.1MB.
After scanning a few people, some art, and even my cat I was approached by Arland Whitfield, founder of Skyworks, with the idea to put our heads together & scan something BIG.
The building we decided on was Holden Observatory on Syracuse University's campus, being one of the oldest buildings in the area and at a little over 2 stories tall it was the perfect sized challenge to try and bite off.
From my experiments scanning regular sized objects, I knew there were 3 basic angles we needed to capture in order to get the scan.
1. Low and angled up 2. High and angled down 3. Directly above and straight down
