Thanks for the link. It shows how to use Independent Geometry to map a surface to "scan data". It was not clear what they meant by scan data. They provided a file for download and the scan data was imported geometry of a set of curves.

Using Independent Geometry, it is possible to fit a flat surface to the imported curves. Sounds powerful, right? I want to experiment more with it later.

There are couple of useful things inside independened geometry.
Already mentioned is the fitting surfaces and curves capability to scan or import data.
I'd only like to emphasize one of my favourite tools here which is the surface -> from surface (formerly snap shot surface) which will create an untrimmed (and independened) surface of a trimmed face, I often use this when fiddling around with imported formats....

Can you describe this in more depth. Maybe insert a screenshot to go along with it. Thanks.
