The new release also offers more control before processing projects. When viewing a published project in ReCap Pro, users can now annotate and share data directly in Autodesk Docs, BIM 360 Docs, or Autodesk Drive.Īutodesk has also made updates to ReCap Photo, the 3D photo reconstruction service included with ReCap Pro, allowing for more flexibility with the use of Cloud Credits. The cost of the job is determined by the number of points in the point cloud that are being processed into a textured mesh, as well as the quality of mesh selected. Since processing is done on the cloud, users will be charged Cloud Credits per job. Users can create a low-, medium-, or high-quality Recap mesh, in OBJ or RCM format, which can then be saved to Autodesk BIM 360, Autodesk Docs, or Autodesk Drive (a replacement for A360 Drive). Editing tools such as the Limit Box/Clip/Region/Deletion tools can be used to control how much of the point cloud is displayed in the scene, and only the visible area will be meshed. Users can choose to convert the entire point cloud or a select part. The hardware is also smaller in size, which the developers say make it more manageable. The 3D mesh can be used for early clash detection and, say developers, more effective project data coordination and verification.

The latest release of the 3D scanning software introduces ‘Scan to Mesh’, a new workflow that allow users to turn a point cloud into a textured 3D mesh.

3D scanning software can now turn a point cloud into a textured 3D mesh, following the release of Autodesk ReCap Pro 2022.
