Does Autodesk is towards Leica or Faro? Or doesn't it matter?

@johan.degreef , ReCap should take both sensor files without any issues.

@ramesh_sridharan 

 

Also both images/photos come into Recap without problems, because I read somewhere it used to be an issue with Leica?

Do raw Leica scan import directly into Recap, or is Leica's Cyclone needed for in between?

 

Another question is: Do scans can be put on an online platform, so project engineers and other no CAD people can view and measure on it? Or are there licenses involved? 

 

Many Thanks for clarification

ReCap projects can be published to ACC/BIM360 for online visualization, sharing, and more. The receipient need ACC license to access them

@johan.degreef, Raw format has different meanings in different contexts. If you are talking about the RAW from the sensor, usually those are proprietary to the sensor. But you should be able to export PTS/PTX/LAS/E57 out of those that can be easily imported in ReCap.
