Hello,
I am a suveyor/survey cad tech. The firm I work for is about to purchase a Riegl VZ-1000 3D Laser Scanner with Online Waveform Processing. I will be training in the processing software provided by Riegl. I also have to get versed in the how to of post processing with civil3d. I'm wondering what exactly I will need to know; how I will take the data from Riegl and into civl3d and produce a dwg. Im flying blind here. Any advice/direction would be greatly appreciated.

Do you know what type of files the scanner will output?

I guess I'm asking what tools I will use to create not only surfaces but odjects such as trees, hydrants, etc for a 2d plan set. We work in 2012 civil 3d currently; what advantages does 2014 civil design suite offer in these regards? point cloud filterization, handling huge amounts of data, etc? Sorry, not meaning to ask so many things at once here, but I'm grasping.
I understand. Unfortunately the only experience I have with scans is bringing in LAS files for surfaces. You'd have to now what the XML file is supposed to contain. If it's only a surface, that's one thing. If it can contain other entities like points or featurelines, that's another.
