At its core, ReCap 2020 is built to handle large datasets from laser scans or photogrammetry. Key improvements in this version include:

At its heart, Autodesk ReCap 2020 is an independent application designed to capture and integrate real-world data directly into your design process. You can also generate textured 3D models using photographs (photogrammetry) and convert that data into file formats that design software can understand for immediate use in existing conditions modeling.

Import raw formats like FLS, PTX, PTG, or LAS.

Point clouds can easily exceed hundreds of gigabytes. Using the Limit Box tool, you can isolate specific sections of a building—such as a single floor or a specific structural bay. Assigning these points to distinct "Regions" allows you to turn visibility on and off, vastly improving hardware performance when the file is linked to Revit or Civil 3D.

The fundamental "work" of ReCap 2020 involves processing raw data from laser scanners and photographs.
