Autodesk Recap 2020

Using the same graphics core as AutoCAD 2020, ReCap 2020 offered improved DirectX 12 support. This resulted in smoother panning and zooming through point clouds with millions of points, even on standard workstation GPUs. The "Realistic" viewing mode now displays color gradients more accurately, mimicking the natural lighting of the scanned environment.

or AutoCAD, allowing designers to build new structures directly on top of the "as-built" reality. Photo-to-3D (ReCap Photo) autodesk recap 2020

: Save the project as an .RCS or .RCP file to use as a background in other Autodesk design software. Using the same graphics core as AutoCAD 2020,

: Automatically registers, stitches, and cleans up data captured by hardware like laser scanners or UAV-mounted cameras. or AutoCAD, allowing designers to build new structures

ReCap 2020 offers automatic registration. It detects overlapping geometry between individual scans and stitches them into a single coordinate system. The 2020 update improved machine learning detection for "flat walls" which previously confused automatic alignment tools.

: The 2020 suite included enhanced photogrammetry capabilities, allowing high-resolution photos taken by drones to be converted into textured 3D meshes. This has been widely used in environmental studies, such as investigating concrete abrasion in coastal environments , where traditional measurement methods are impractical. Industry Impact
