Open ReCap 2020 and create a new project. Import the raw files. You can apply filters at this stage to remove noise or limit the range of data imported. Step 3: Registration

The short answer:
ReCap 2020 is superior for users in remote locations (oil rigs, mines, jungle construction) with poor internet, or those who refuse to pay annual subscription fees for cloud storage. The 2020 version is also faster for indexing scans under 50 GB because there is no upload latency.
: The main purpose of ReCap was to ingest raw data from 3D laser scanners (like FARO, Leica) and drones (UAVs) to create a digital representation of a physical space. It acted as a "bridge" between physical scanning hardware and Autodesk's design software. autodesk recap 2020
ReCap Photo IntegrationWhile the standard ReCap Pro focuses on laser scanning (LiDAR), ReCap Photo—included with the 2020 subscription—handles photogrammetry. It allows users to upload photos taken from drones or handheld cameras to the cloud, generating high-resolution 3D meshes and orthomosaics.
Alternatives (brief)
The desktop application is the central command station for heavy point cloud data management. It handles initial data ingestion, filtering, and cross-scan registration. It is built specifically to process millions of geometric points locally, allowing users to strip away unwanted visual noise—like moving cars, pedestrians, or trees—to reveal the exact geometry of the target asset.
As of November 2022, Autodesk provided updates (up to ReCap Pro 2020.2.3 Hotfix) to ensure stability and compatibility, making it a reliable, stable tool for projects requiring accurate, as-built data. Whether doing a "Field Investigation into Abrasion of Concrete" or a full facility survey, ReCap 2020 is a foundational tool in the AEC portfolio. Open ReCap 2020 and create a new project
