More capturing existing objects with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_cloud - 3D point clouds in the news. Capturing existing objects, places, specimens, and structures in digital 3D models help to preserve our history and cultures for perseveration, restoration, and future study. A 3D model or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_cloud - point cloud is far more valuable and rich in data than a 2D photo or sketch with a descriptive text. The http://www.nps.gov/history/hdp/haer/index.htm - Historic American Engineering Record ( http://www.nps.gov/history/hdp/haer/index.htm - HAER ) was established in 1969 by the http://www.nps.gov/ - National Park Service , the http://www.asce.org/ - American Society of Civil Engineers and the http://www.loc.gov/ - Library of Congress to document historic sites and structures related to engineering and industry. HAER and http;//usa.autodesk.com - Autodesk partner http://www.kubitusa.com/ - kubit have been capturing sites and objects in 3D point clouds using http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_scanning - laser scanning .

The Great Flight Cage at the National Zoo in Washington, D.C.

The Great Flight Cage at the http://nationalzoo.si.edu/ - National Zoo in Washington, D.C. was built in 1963 and opened in 1965. The http://www.nps.gov/ - National Park Service used http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_scanning - laser scanning technology from http://www.kubitusa.com/ - kubit to capture the Flight Cage as a point cloud that would then be imported into http://usa.autodesk.com/autocad/ - AutoCAD .

A point cloud image of the Great Flight Cage at the http://nationalzoo.si.edu/ - National Zoo captured with kubit laser scanning technology.  http://www.kubitusa.com/ - kubit is a member of the http://www.autodesk.com/developers - Autodesk Developer Network .

The point cloud is then brought into AutoCAD software to create this 2D line drawing of the Great Flight Cage.
