ReCap Pro
Create and integrate digital models of reality
With ReCap Pro, you turn the physical world into a digital object. Reality capture data helps you understand existing conditions more clearly, review and analyze them, and make better planning decisions.
ReCap prepares point clouds as a foundation for planning in AutoCAD or Revit by cutting away irrelevant areas or splitting point clouds into floors or smaller sections. This improves clarity, speeds up modeling, and reduces the volume of data in use. Autodesk ReCap Pro is already included in the Autodesk AEC Collection.
BIM support with laser scans and photos
ReCap Pro supports BIM workflows with point clouds, photo-based models, and direct export into Autodesk planning environments.
Support for BIM processes
Import laser scans and photos into ReCap Pro to create a point cloud or mesh that supports BIM processes across architecture, engineering, and construction workflows.
3D planning models from photos
ReCap Photo processes drone photos to create digital representations of current conditions that can be used in BIM tools for real-context 3D planning models.
Integration with Autodesk Revit
Export reality capture data from ReCap Pro into Revit to create building models in 3D.
Integration with InfraWorks and Civil 3D
ReCap Pro also supports BIM workflows in infrastructure planning through integration with InfraWorks and Civil 3D.
Everything included for reality-based 3D models
Autodesk ReCap Pro combines navigation, photo-based reconstruction, point cloud editing, publishing, and coordinate tools for reality capture workflows.
Project navigation: Compare the scan view (RealView) and the map view side by side.
View published projects: View, label, and share published ReCap Pro projects in Autodesk Docs, BIM 360 Docs, and Autodesk Drive.
Autodesk Drive integration: Publish ReCap Pro projects to Autodesk Docs, BIM 360 Docs, and Autodesk Drive.
Navisworks data integration: Enrich RealView panoramas with Navisworks data.
Animation workflow: ReCap Pro improves the process of converting view states into practical animations for presentations.
3D photo reconstruction accuracy: Use high-precision GPS technology to avoid costly ground control point preparation and create survey-accurate photo reconstructions.
ReCap Photo: Access advanced photogrammetry options through ReCap Photo.
Scan to mesh: Convert a point cloud into a 3D textured mesh and use it as the basis for an intelligent CAD model.
Orthographic image resolution: Create high-resolution orthographic images for large and small sites.
Point cloud editing: Measure, mark up, and prepare point clouds for planning by cutting away irrelevant areas or splitting them into floors or smaller sections for better clarity and lower data volume.
Measurement function: Use the surface snap function to measure the distance between a start point and a point projected outward from the selected surface.
Faster processing: Increase scan import speed by up to 20% with multicore processors.
Set coordinates and orientation: Use the compass widget to define the XY axis for the user coordinate system in plan view.
More precise UCS settings: Change the origin and orientation of the user coordinate system and enter exact coordinate values manually.
