ReCap 2020 allows users to import standard 2D photographs taken from any camera or drone. Using Structure-from-Motion (SfM) algorithms, the software identifies common features across overlapping images, calculates camera positions, and generates dense point clouds. The 2020 version improved texture mapping and reduced noise in outdoor environments.
Contractors compare as-built point clouds with BIM models. By overlaying the ReCap point cloud onto a Revit 2020 model, clash detection for rebar, MEP, and ductwork becomes visual and intuitive. autodesk recap 2020
