Key Improvements Over Recap Pro 2025
Feature Area | Recap Pro 2025 | Recap Pro 2026 |
Scan to Mesh Workflow | Required cloud processing, limited local mesh editing | Convert point clouds into segmented meshes directly on your system, reducing reliance on cloud services. Includes a new Mesh Editor for refining, classifying, and exporting intelligent, lightweight models. |
Revit Integration | Manual import of mesh data; limited interoperability | Enhanced Revit Plugin: Seamlessly import classified mesh objects into Revit as families, streamlining the scan-to-BIM workflow and reducing manual modeling efforts. |
ReCap Photo Integration | Separate installation required for photogrammetry tools | Integrated ReCap Photo: Directly convert photographs into detailed 3D mesh models within ReCap Pro, simplifying the photo-to-3D workflow. |
Cloud Collaboration | Basic cloud sharing capabilities | Enhanced ACC ReCap Viewer: View, annotate, and manage large point cloud datasets in Autodesk Construction Cloud, facilitating better collaboration without heavy local processing. |
Feature Extraction Tools | Basic linear and point feature extraction | Adaptive Feature Extraction: Improved tools for extracting linear and point features, including better handling of curves and multi-view perspectives, enhancing accuracy and efficiency. |
RealView Experience | Standard RealView navigation | Improved RealView: Enhanced streaming textures and transition animations for smoother navigation and orientation within scan views. |
Project Management | Limited scan group management | Advanced Scan Group Management: Create and manage scan groups within ReCap Pro and synchronize them with Autodesk Docs, improving organization and collaboration. |
Why ReCap Pro 2026 Is the Best Version to Use Today
Efficient Local Processing
The new local Scan-to-Mesh capability allows users to process point clouds into segmented meshes directly on their systems, significantly reducing processing time and reliance on cloud services. This enhancement accelerates project timelines and improves workflow efficiency.
Seamless BIM Integration
With the enhanced Revit plugin, ReCap Pro 2026 enables the direct import of classified mesh objects as Revit families. This integration streamlines the scan-to-BIM process, reducing manual modeling efforts and ensuring more accurate representations of existing conditions.
Integrated Photogrammetry Tools
The inclusion of ReCap Photo within ReCap Pro 2026 simplifies the conversion of photographs into detailed 3D mesh models. This unified workflow eliminates the need for separate installations and provides a more straightforward approach to photogrammetry.
Enhanced Cloud Collaboration
The improved ACC ReCap Viewer facilitates better collaboration by allowing users to view, annotate, and manage large point cloud datasets directly in the cloud. This feature reduces the need for heavy local processing and enables teams to work more effectively across different locations.
Advanced Feature Extraction
ReCap Pro 2026 introduces adaptive feature extraction tools that improve the accuracy and efficiency of extracting linear and point features from point cloud data. These tools are particularly beneficial for projects requiring detailed modeling of complex geometries.
