Autodesk ReCap Pro 2026 is here, delivering game-changing enhancements that help AECO professionals maximize the value of reality capture data, optimize scan-to-BIM workflows, and enhance your project collaboration. This release introduces advanced scan-to-mesh capabilities, a new integration with Revit, ReCap Photo integration, and powerful cloud-based sync features. Let’s explore how these innovations can streamline your projects and help save valuable time.

Efficient modeling for complex elements

One of the most impactful upgrades in ReCap Pro 2026 is the streamlined scan-to-segmented mesh workflow, which simplifies the process of turning complex 3D scans into actionable BIM elements. With the enhanced Revit plugin (that comes with ReCap Pro 2026), users can now easily add meshed geometry directly into their Revit projects as Revit families, significantly reducing the need for costly, time-consuming manual modeling. This functionality enables a faster, more cost-effective workflow, allowing teams to convert large point cloud datasets into streamlined, actionable design and modeling elements—all with a simple, intuitive process.

Enhanced scan-to-mesh capability for faster and more efficient processing

Processing point clouds has often been a resource-intensive task, requiring cloud processing or powerful local machines. ReCap Pro 2026 now includes local scan-to-mesh capabilities, meaning users can convert point clouds into segmented meshes faster and more efficiently using their own systems—no need for heavy cloud upload or computation.

This feature, combined with the new Mesh Editor, allows for further refinement of mesh models, including classification, editing, and exporting intelligent, lightweight models. This feature directly addresses the challenge of processing large datasets efficiently and empowers users to transform point clouds into segmented meshes, refine them, and integrate them into Revit, boosting workflow efficiency. These smart meshes can also be leveraged in Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) Viewer model coordination, enabling faster clash detection and better coordination against real-world conditions, further improving design accuracy.

Powerful ACC-based ReCap Viewer for large project coordination

When working with large-scale projects, one of the biggest challenges is managing and visualizing point cloud data in coordination with design models. ReCap Pro 2026 overcomes this with the enhanced ACC ReCap Viewer, which supports large project datasets while providing superior performance. This means users can visualize, share, manage, and extract 3D geometries in the cloud—significantly reducing the need to download heavy datasets onto local machines. This capability significantly reduces the time spent managing large files and enables team members to collaborate smoothly and effectively across the project, without worrying about data size or machine limitations.

All-in-one photo-to-3D workflow

ReCap Pro 2026 also integrates ReCap Photo, offering a unified workflow that simplifies the conversion of photos into detailed 3D mesh models. This all-in-one reality capture solution eliminates the need for separate installations and provides an easier, more streamlined approach to generating 3D models from imagery. By processing photos directly within ReCap Pro, users can avoid unnecessary complexity, helping to save both time and resources while expanding their modeling capabilities to include photo-based reality capture.

Transforming your projects with ReCap Pro 2026

Autodesk ReCap Pro 2026 delivers a more powerful platform that helps AECO professionals work smarter, faster, and more accurately. With advanced scan-to-mesh capabilities, new Revit integration, improved cloud-based coordination, and integrated photo-to-3D workflows, this latest version transforms the way you capture and use reality data. It’s designed to help your workflows become more efficient, less error-prone, and better integrated across teams—ultimately driving better project outcomes with reduced effort and cost.
