1. A method for surveying an object using a geodetic surveying device, the method comprising: deriving an item of surface information for at least one object region; and determining a position of at least one object point within the object region, wherein the position of the at least one object point is determined geodetically precisely, scanning to derive the item of surface information, wherein the scanning includes: object-point-independent scanning of the object region by progressive alignment changes of the measuring radiation, a determination of a respective distance and a respective alignment of the measuring radiation emitted for the distance measurement for scanning points within the object region, in a predetermined scanning point resolution, and a generation of a point cloud, which represents the item of surface information and has the scanning points, and updating the item of surface information based on the determined position of the at least one object point.
