Not yet Joe. The whole IDSP suite, outside of Civil 3D, is on my Round-Toit list for next year. Maybe I can use it to design a Round-Toit

I didn't even bother to install it on any computer except for mine. I have never even opened it as we don't use point clouds. Recap Photo looks cool, but I tried using the 123d and before that its precursor to make a 3d model of any object in my office and it never worked. I even tried it to make a building model using photos back then using their own tutorials and it didn't work.
I'm loosing my faith in Autodesk. They keep pouring resources into products that a large number of their base simply won't use while neglecting their bread and butter. "Hey look! We made a program to use point cloud data, but we still won't let an alignment label reference both a spiral and curve at the same time!".

I've learned a lot over the years about 3ds Max, especially its limitations regarding its accuracy compared to Autocad. I saw a blog post the other day regarding getting Recap to display the point clouds more accurately by moving the origin closer to the model. That tells me Recap is using the same drawing engine that 3ds Max uses; one that's only single point precision instead of double like Autocad. That worries me as to how accurate it really is.
Check out this web cast by Sean Twomey of A2K Technologies which shows working with photos, Recap Photo, Recap and Civil 3d.
