Hi Maria,

ReCap Desktop works only with point clouds. To obtain a point cloud from your photos, you will want to use ReCap Photo to 3D Service:

https://recap360.autodesk.com

You will need a Photo to 3D account entitlement for point cloud generation.

After uploading your photos, and optionally adding control points, follow this guide to select the point cloud export artifact option:

I hope that helps! Please let us know how your project turns out.

Cheers,
Zackery

Hi Maria,

It looks like you've successfully followed the Infraworks 3D model insertion guide[1]. Unfortunately, this forum is ReCap-focused, so I cannot provide much insight within Infraworks.

We recommend reviewing your full-resolution model in a product like Autodesk Memento[2].
