# LiDAR-Based Surveys

As a beta feature in Hamina Onsite, it is possible to perform a LiDAR-based survey with either an iPhone or iPad that is equipped with a LiDAR sensor.

A LiDAR-based survey simultaneously tracks the user location and automatically generates a floorplan, while performing a site survey.

{% hint style="warning" %}
It is currently only suitable for small spaces such as homes and small offices.
{% endhint %}

To perform a LiDAR-based survey:

1. Connect to either an Oscium Nomad or Hamina Clip.
2. Switch to the **Survey Projects** tab.
3. Tap the **+** button to create a new project.
4. Select **Scan your surroundings...**
5. Tap the red button to begin.

You can also add a LiDAR-based survey and floorplan to an existing project:

1. Open a project.
2. Tap the Maps/Floors button near the top of the screen.
3. Select **Add floor** > **Scan your surroundings (beta)**
4. Tap the red button to begin.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.hamina.com/hamina/onsite/site-surveys/lidar-based-surveys.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
