ReCap Pro

Autodesk ReCap Pro: Turn the physical into digital

Reality capture and 3D scanning software

What is Autodesk ReCap Pro?

Autodesk ReCap Pro software helps designers and engineers capture high-quality, detailed models of real-world assets. Use ReCap Pro to:

  • Create 3D models from photographs or laser scans to transform real-world objects and environments into digital assets

  • Deliver a point cloud or mesh and collaborate across teams with existing conditions and as-built assets

  • Leverage cloud-based workflows to efficiently update, extract features, and manage files in the cloud

In addition to a subscription, you need Autodesk Flex tokens to process ReCap data (cloud) services such as Scan to Mesh and ReCap Photo projects. Learn more.

Features to support your operations

Scan to Mesh

Accelerate physical to digital workflows with enhanced Scan to Mesh, converting point clouds into segmented mesh models through customized local processing, and exporting detailed models through the Mesh Editor.

Revit plug-in

The new plug-in for Revit offers a streamlined workflow to manage large mesh datasets, enabling the addition of complex mesh objects into projects as Revit Families.

ReCap Viewer 3D Feature Extraction

Extract features such as ADA ramps and driveways from large point cloud data via ReCap Cloud Viewer.

ReCap Viewer Linear Feature Extraction

Extract specific geometries of interest from large point cloud data via ReCap Cloud Viewer.

Autodesk Docs point cloud viewer

View and mark up point clouds and RealViews of published ReCap projects in Autodesk Docs.

Manage projects in the cloud

Publish ReCap Pro projects to Autodesk Docs and Autodesk Construction Cloud.

"That's really the heart of what we're doing: were digitally preserving these sites. Its three-dimensional, its interactive."

— Mark Dietrick, Director of Services, Case Technologies Inc.

"You could walk through the improvements and actually show the owner what its going to look like in the end."

— Kurt Smith, Project Manager, Arcadis

"The possibility to connect data on different platforms reduces the time that is needed to find the right data ... The benefits are about transparency and better collaboration."

— Jan-Peter Ter Maaten, Team Leader GIS, VolkerWessels

"We had models for all the disciplines ... and put them into a game engine."

— Thomas Angeltveit, Civil Engineer and BIM Coordinator, Norconsult
