2.5 Scanning limitations
Due to the scanning principle employed, certain unfavorable circumstances may negatively affect the result:
- Multiple layers on walls or floors
- Empty plastic pipes in hollow brick, wood beams in cavities and in drywall partitions
- Objects that run through the wall at an angle
- Metal surfaces and damp areas; under certain circumstances, these may be detected as objects in the material
being scanned
