Autodesk ReCap Pro / Photo 2025 and ReCap Viewer - Release Notes

[barmanr]

Hi Everyone,

We are happy to announce that Autodesk ReCap Pro / Photo / Viewer 2025 has been released!

What is included in Autodesk ReCap Pro 25.0.0?

New Features and Improvements:

• Added colorization support for Faro scans during import.
• Added an option to cancel the process of counting points in the Intelligent Decimation dialog.
• Added a report dialog for Intelligent Decimation to show the number of points remaining and moved between the source and target classifications respectively.

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed an issue in which E57 files with timestamps could not be imported.
• Fixed an issue in which class 8 Model key-point (mass point) was truncated in "Convert Regions to Classification" dialog for some languages.
• Fixed an issue in which the canvas was flickering after canceling the Intelligent Decimation dialog when decimate "by approximate number of points" option was selected.
• Fixed an issue in which NWD files with unicode characters caused an attach project error.
• Fixed security vulnerabilities.

Known Limitations:

• Points that belong to a hidden classification are selectable and can be deleted.
• Classifications in certain types of scans (such as structured scans) cannot be viewed in other Autodesk products. In such cases, the source project can be exported as a unified project for viewing in other Autodesk products.
• Publishing and scan to mesh no longer work using Desktop Connector v15 and earlier. It is advised to update to Desktop Connector v16 (16.1.1.1950 and above).

• Fixed an issue in which making selections using the Window Selection mode did not show the selection highlights.
• Fixed security vulnerabilities.

Recap Viewer is still the same  install as pro Correct? it has not become a seperate app?

[ramesh_sridharan]

@kgallagherCGHDN, ReCap Viewer is the viewer in ACC Docs, Autodesk Construction Cloud, for visualization, sharing, and extracting features from a point cloud directly from the cloud without having to download. ReCap Pro is a desktop product that provides point cloud creation, classification, and more functionalities.

@ramesh_sridharan  Thanks for the reply. Recap when installed local used to become a freeviewer after the trial expired is that not the case anymore?

[ramesh_sridharan]

@kgallagherCGHDN Yes, that should still be the case, but that is still ReCap Pro read-only mode without a license. It is different from what is referred to here as ReCap Viewer, which is ACC Viewer.
