Because the profile of the steel shapes are different to piping, the pattern recognition is a little more complex. The web and flanges make hard shadows where the laser can't always detect the full shape of the steel, and we also get deflection from time to time. The steel typically has other items attached to it, like connection bolts and plates, and so choosing the best place to select your points on the steel beam is important to make sure you get a good return. So let's go up and open our exercise file. We're going to go to Desktop, Exercise Files, and we're going to go Chapter 08_02. So let's take a look at our structural steel here. Going to just look on an angle, and we can sort of take a look and see what different types of shapes we have here. And it looks like this is mostly all made up with the same type of pattern, which is fairly normal. Steel tends to be…
