Join expert Matt Wunch for a fun and informative demonstration of using a drone to get accurate geolocations for your models, with Autodesk software used across several disciplines. Matt will walk us through the process of uploading photos to ReCap Photo and tying in ground control points to create a point cloud, geo-TIF, mesh, and digital terrain model. How can you modify a point cloud using ReCap Pro and then bring that into an InfraWorks model along with the geo-TIFs? How do you get your models to us the same shared coordinate system across applications to ensure they’re all located on Earth correctly? Come find out all of this and more!
This session will be also be supported by an Autodesk Community Manager as part of Community Conversations - live, virtual events designed to allow you to gain expertise, connect with leaders and grow your community network.
Use the comments area below to ask the presenter or organizers a question before the event begins. The live virtual event will be hosted on Zoom and will allow you to discuss the topic live with our host and presenters.
A recording will be posted here if you aren't able to join us.

There was a question about how many photos can be processed in ReCap Photo - is there a limit?
Answer: Yes up to 2000 with the 22.1 update for photo. https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/recap-forum/recap-photo-2022-1-2000-photo-processing-limit/td-p/10485...

Thanks for sharing your knowledge @Matt.Wunch with the community! Is it possible to add a link here to the flowchart that you previewed at the beginning of your presentation as a handy reference guide to the workflow? Thanks again and looking forward to part 2!

@rauburn yes. I'm going to tweak it a bit and add some additional links. I may also add links to the source files (drone data & outputs) so you can mess around with it yourself. If you think that may be helpful?

That sounds great, thanks again! BTW, which drone did you use to capture the data, the quality of the scan looks really great!
