Kris,

            Seems there was discussion about scanners before and I don't remember anyone saying they found one that was reliable especially with varying roofing materials.  Our current method is fist-thumping to get in the area of the rafter, drill exploratory hole then use the Chiptoolz rafter finder:

Its stupid simple low-tech but works great.  Could be there is now a reliable hi-tech scanner that works in all cases.
