laser measuring for a buck ??
A while back someone suggested that a laser could be used in place of rods in a bridge for making a buck. If that would work, what level/quality laser would be needed? Would a Leica Disto work?

I'm pretty sure that it would've referred to laser scanning to create a surface model which a Disto wouldn't be capable of.

I'm thinking something short of a scanner. I'm thinking of something that you could use to create individual profile gauges or stations? on a buck. I was thinking showing data points, but feeding info to a computer would allow me to print out the profiles. Maybe this unit can't do it, But maybe something else could? That wouldn't break the bank?

Need more info
Norm,
You might get better/more responses if you let folks know what you are trying to accomplish. Motorcycle tank? Bugatti? Semi truck? Something that actually exists, or that you are trying to create?

As an alternative to the pointing frames, I suggested using a series of small plumb bobs to capture and transfer dimensions to quickly make flat 2d patterns for individual stations. Measuring draft or undercut needs to be done carefully from one of the plumb lines but isn't a significant problem. It's very cheap and accurate, although not necessarily instant numeric data for a computer.
Regarding your computer data desire- On my shelf of tools I thought I might use but never really have is a (think it's a TWA-related symptom....) is a hand held laser distance measuring device. It's still basically nib somewhere around here and not sure how precise it is. Maybe something like that, utilized along a consistent framework, would provide more hi-tech compatible numbers for developing an e-file without as big an expenditure as some other equipment? Still, all it would be doing is exactly what the plumb bobs do...
