Autodesk ReCap and Plant 3D

If you are not using ReCap to register, index and manipulate your point clouds and then dropping them in Plant 3D to do as-built designs, you are missing out!

 

Come to Autodesk University in Las Vegas this year and attend my class on this very subject.

PD6092 - Simplify As-Built Modifications in Plant 3D: Autodesk ReCap and AutoCAD Plant 3D - 12/3/14 (Wednesday) 4:30 PM

Autodesk® BIM 360™ Glue® and AutoCAD® Plant 3D

If you have not tried out Autodesk® BIM 360™ Glue® with AutoCAD® Plant 3D, you need to start experimenting.  This is some very good software for your field and collaboration needs amongst different disciplines, crews and clients.  Give it a try!

Don't print the View Cube!

I have heard of a few people printing in Plant 3D and the View Cube gets printed as well.  They made a fix for that.
