ReCap does not like OS coordinate system for .e57 processing - massive decimatio

We have a Revit model which sits on Ordnance Survey grid - we wanted to insert the scan into this model so we registered it using OS values for targets.  We started to process .e57 file on OS grid and result was a massive decimation of around 90% of the points as seen below.

Normally we have points 1-2mm apart on the scan in this instance is 15mm at best and usually around 20-50mm.

When we extracted the scan on the local grid the problem is not there. It looks exactly the same as in registering software.

 

I can see 3 solutions to my problem:

 

1. Autodesk is fixing ReCap

2. Import in local and transform the coordinate system in ReCap to OS (preferable solution but not sure if it is possible - I can see some transformation options there)

3. Find another conversion software.

 

If someone knows how to convert to OS from local that would be most appreciated help.

Hello mate,

Have you tried importing directly into Recap Pro then georeferencing via the black and white targets ?
