ReCap Pro is Autodesk's point cloud conversion and viewing software. It creates the RCS/RCP files needed by Revit and AutoCAD.
- • Conversion to RCS/RCP for the Autodesk ecosystem
- • Scan-to-mesh (local, from ReCap 2026)
- • ReCap Photo (photogrammetry, requires Flex tokens)
- • Native Revit, AutoCAD, Navisworks integration
- • Pricing on request + Flex tokens for cloud services (Autodesk prepaid credits for cloud processing)
ATIS.cloud lets teams view, measure and share surveys in the browser. For deliverable production, ATIS.cad includes Scan-to-Plan and Scan-to-BIM: 2D drawings and building objects to review before PDF/DWG/DXF or IFC export. ATIS.cad is in early access until the end of November 2026, on request and activated by the team. This is separate from the ATIS.cloud trial.
- 19+ formats accepted natively (E57, LAS, LAZ, RCS, RCP, LGSx and more)
- Share by link, client views without Autodesk
- Measurement and annotation in the browser
- Scan vs BIM/IFC comparison (Advance plan)
- Revit plugin to stream scans from ATIS.cloud

Where ATIS.cloud wins over ReCap
Where ReCap Pro wins
Share by link without Autodesk
Grant access to the survey in ATIS.cloud for browser-based viewing, measurement and annotation. ReCap also supports web publishing through Autodesk Drive or Docs: compare publication steps, permissions and recipient needs.
RCS/RCP conversion
Autodesk documents RCS/RCP import and export in ReCap. If your workflow requires those files, keep a verified conversion route. ATIS.cad drawing and model exports serve a different purpose.
19+ formats without conversion
ATIS.cloud reads E57, LAS, LAZ, RCS, RCP, LGSx natively. No need to convert to RCS/RCP.
Local scan-to-mesh
ReCap Pro 2026 converts point clouds to segmented meshes on your machine.
Per-team pricing, not per-seat
ATIS.cloud offers plans tailored to team size and storage. Compare required costs and permissions with your Autodesk offer on the same scope; pricing alone does not prove a saving in every case.
ReCap Photo (photogrammetry)
Creates 3D models from photos. Requires Flex tokens.
Built-in BIM/IFC comparison
ReCap can't compare scan vs BIM, you need Navisworks (extra cost). ATIS.cloud Advance includes scan + IFC overlay.
Native Autodesk integration
ReCap is natively integrated in Revit, AutoCAD, and Navisworks.
Choose ATIS.cloud if...
- Your main need is to view and share scans
- Your clients don't have Autodesk software
- You want per-team pricing (4-10 users), not per-seat
- You work with varied formats (not just RCS/RCP)
- Data sovereignty matters
Keep ReCap Pro if...
- • You must convert files to RCS/RCP for Revit/AutoCAD
- • You use ReCap Photo for photogrammetry
- • You need local scan-to-mesh
- • You're 100% in the Autodesk ecosystem

ATIS.cad
From the survey to drawings or a model
ATIS.cad is ATIS.cloud’s CAD/BIM authoring product. Work from the point cloud, review suggestions and prepare the deliverable you need in your browser.
Scan-to-Plan
Prepare an editable 2D floor plan. Review proposed walls and complete the drawing before export.
PDF · DWG · DXF drawings
Scan-to-BIM
Prepare building objects. Accept, adjust or reject suggestions, then check the model.
IFC model after review
Early access until the end of November 2026, on request and activated by the team. Separate from the ATIS.cloud trial; a later commercial release is not guaranteed.

FAQ: ReCap Pro Alternative
Choose according to the work you need to do.
- ReCap: survey preparation and RCS/RCP outputs documented by Autodesk, with other tools in its ecosystem covering meshing and photogrammetry.
- ATIS.cloud: survey viewing, measurement, sharing and comparison with an IFC model.
- ATIS.cad: drawings and building objects, human review, then PDF/DWG/DXF or IFC export.
ATIS.cad is in early access until the end of November 2026, on request and activated by the team. This is separate from the ATIS.cloud trial. These workflows can complement one another; CAD/BIM production does not imply a complete ReCap replacement.
