The end result is a point cloud or mesh that is ready to use with CAD and 3D modeling software. Autodesk ReCap Pro automatically registers, cleans up and analyzes the data. Some laser scanners are now small and light enough to carry in a backpack and they continue to reduce in cost. A camera mounted to a drone or a laser scanner can scan the site in hours, not days. Gather detailed data using lidar or photogrammetry technology. To start a project with reality capture you need to go through 3-steps process: ReCap Pro allows users to publish and view the real view imagery in the Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) and Autodesk BIM 360. It means that you can start with the objects that already exist in the real world as opposed to a blank screen. What reality capture offers is the ability to quickly, easily and cheaply capture reality, bring it into the design space and design in context. You’ll be able to scan quickly and accurately making it easier to survey, plan, renovate and construct new buildings or infrastructure. It’s a process that captures, measures and maps millions of surface points to build a textured, high-resolution precise 3D model of your site. But reality capture is changing the way we survey. ReCap enables users to register over a hundred scans into a single file that can be used in other Autodesk applications, such as Revit, AutoCAD, Inventor and Navisworks.įor any design or renovation project you need to capture existing conditions but traditional methods of surveying are painful, time-consuming and tedious.

Autodesk ReCap is reality capture software that helps you to create intelligent 3D data from photos and scans and use them in other CAD, BIM and 3D modeling software.
