Unlike RealityCapture or Metashape, ReCap’s photo-to-3D feature is basic. It works for aerial survey blocks but struggles with detailed close-range objects. Expect to pre-process photos elsewhere.

Many infrastructure projects (bridges, tunnels, rail) have 5-10 year lifecycles. If a project was initiated in ReCap 2020, updating the software to 2026 can break complex registration constraints. Many teams keep a "2020 installation" specifically to maintain legacy .RCP files. autodesk recap 2020

ReCap 2020 refined its proprietary indexing format. The .RCP (Project File) and .RCS (Scan File) structure allows users to load only the visual data they need, reducing RAM usage. The 2020 update introduced background indexing, meaning you could begin cleaning up a scan while ReCap finished processing in the background. Unlike RealityCapture or Metashape
