The ReCap file reader supports RCS and RCP files. RCS file format is a single point cloud scan. RCP file format is a project file that points to the individual scan files and contains information about them.
This file reader differs from other file readers supplied with Navisworks. Instead of converting the contents of the ReCap file and including it in the model, the file reader makes a link to the RCS/RCP file and adds this information to the model. The file is loaded on demand as you navigate around the model. The advantages are that the files open almost instantly, and you also have an option to embed the RCS/RCP files when you publish an NWD file when you use Navisworks Manage or Navisworks Simulate. When you use Navisworks Freedom, you can open published NWD files with embedded RCS/RCP files.
