On a related note, are there any distance meters out there, that have an application to integrate it into a drawing program. I have long hoped there would some day be a simple device, that would just scan a room, and quickly produce a usable 2D drawing. But, that seems to be one of those elusive things that the marketing folks love to talk about. <br>

I saw a device like that on a forensic anthropology documentary called "Bones" and I think the gummint has something like that they let their CSI labs use, but I haven't seen anything that reliable and integrated in real life. I'd ask for 2D as well as 3D - might as well ask for the moon.<br>
