In today’s fast-paced construction industry, bridging the gap between real-world conditions and digital-project environments is key to achieving accuracy, minimizing errors, and streamlining project delivery. Reality capture technologies, such as laser scanning, allow teams to document site conditions with precision. However, turning that raw data into actionable models and coordinating them across disciplines can be a challenge without the right tools and workflow. This lab will help you to set up a practical workflow that integrates ReCap Pro 2026, Revit, and the module in Construction Cloud to enable efficient scan-to-BIM and processes. It will demonstrate how point cloud data can be used not just for modeling, but also for coordination and clash detection, using mesh representations and cloud collaboration.

As AEC leaders race to digitize the built world, three forces are accelerating how projects are delivered - reality capture, artificial intelligence, and .

You’ll hear how Digital Workplaces are being used to automate site documentation, support goals with accurate asset data, apply AI to flag issues, accelerate decision making, and improve coordination through cloud-based collaboration. Walk away with a clear view of how these companies are helping AEC teams future-proof their workflows and reduce environmental impact with data-driven insights.

When Fox Nation’s Revolutionary War docuseries called for A-list performances in historic American locations, GO delivered the future. Instead of flying talent across the country, GO recreated the Boston Tea Party and Mount Vernon as immersive SCAPEs using LiDAR, NeRF, and photogrammetry. In this panel, we’ll break down how GO brought Rob Lowe to a virtual Boston Harbor and Kelsey Grammer to a digital Mount Vernon—without ever leaving LA. From sustainability and cost-savings to creative flexibility, this is a case study in digital twin production, Autodesk integration, and the new blueprint for high-end, low-impact filmmaking.

Renovation projects are on the rise, with digital methods like reality capture, model-based collaboration, and Digital Workplaces proving essential. AFRY Switzerland's “AFRY Bellinzona regional hub” is a prime example. Located in a historic Swiss town of Bellinzona, the 2,000 m² space was transformed from an unused commercial site into flexible, modern offices. Autodesk tools were used throughout: Recap for reality capture, Revit for model authoring, ACC for clash detection and coordination, AR visualisation, site reporting, and a Digital Workplace prototype with Tandem. was a top priority—repurposing the existing space helped meet initial goals, with recycled materials and 90% reused furniture from previous offices.

Step into the future of design with our class on using point clouds to create segmented meshes, transforming them into powerful design elements that can be extracted using only the data you need. Leave behind the tedious method of 2D planning, and begin using more-immersive and clear 3D factory images, taking all the guesswork out of layout design. Imagine scanning facility backgrounds and production equipment without existing models, and effortlessly converting those scans into usable layout and design elements. Welcome to the world of ReCap 2026 software—where your scans become fully used assets. This revolutionary tool enables you to transform large point clouds into local segmented meshes, extracting only the design elements you need. With ReCap 2026 as your guide, you'll learn to how to conduct quick design reviews capturing existing conditions, create factory layouts, or transform your meshes in layout assets. Use these meshes to get quick clash-able results on your layout proposals.

In São Paulo, Brazil’s largest city, modeling underground infrastructure involves complex technical and data challenges. This case study will present the first Brazilian project to apply SCAN-2-BIM with IFC 4.3 interoperability in an active metro tunnel—part of the Line 2-Green extension, more than 40 meters deep. Reality capture was done entirely with terrestrial laser scanning (TLS). The point cloud was semantically classified and feature-extracted in ReCap software. Modeling was automated using Civil 3D software with Dynamo and Subassembly Composer, while coordination and export were handled via Navisworks and IFC 4.3 from Civil 3D. The team overcame issues of data volume, accuracy, and integration. This pioneering project also defined asset-agnostic workflows for SCAN-2-BIM in linear infrastructure—scalable and reusable across future projects.

Generative model data—such as photogrammetry and generative artificial intelligence (gen AI)—is becoming more and more pervasive in our daily work as we visualize experiences for our customers. While this generative content might look okay at first glance, upon further inspection we see that it’s far from being production ready. So, how do we turn it into something that we can use? Using 3ds Max software, we’ll cover various tools and functionality that can easily clean up and improve this data so you can use it as a positive force multiplier in your productions.

Our team created a digital twin of retail store located in the shopping mall complex using Autodesk Tandem software–reducing missed inspection time by 90% By combining laser scanning, intelligent modeling, and asset element and IoT sensor data in Tandem extended through our mobile app, we empower plant management to monitor assets and make more-informed business decisions. Dawood integrated our native mobile application—built with Flutter, Supabase, and BuildShip—to record equipment inspections. Elements are tagged with QR codes, enabling rapid information access. This allows for data exchange between the mobile app and digital twin using the Tandem API—making it the single source of truth. This allows on-site engineers to access information on the go to complete daily inspections and send inspection data to the digital twin so that management can assess and respond to events in real time. Automated reminders reduce incidents.

In this session, we'll walk through an end-to-end cloud-centered workflow on using large point-cloud data for detailed design using ReCap Pro software and the Autodesk Construction Cloud platform. We will share simple tools to prepare surfaces, intelligently decimate large point-cloud data, publish to Autodesk Construction Cloud, and collaboratively extract design elements (like curbs, gutters, median, walls, ADA ramps, driveways, and drainage breaklines) and assets via browser and take them into detailed design technology like Civil 3D software to generate highly accurate surface models. Users can also publish the extracted features and assets to ArcGIS to use the information across the organization. This is a workflow the point cloud industry has been wanting for decades!
