Publish ReCap Pro projects

00:03

ReCap Pro offers the ability to publish your projects to the cloud or update already published projects.

00:10

Once published, you can add people to the project so they can view or manipulate the file.

00:16

From the Home screen, open a project you wish to publish.

00:20

From the Project screen, review the project.

00:23

Then, hover your cursor over Home.

00:26

From the Home tile menu, select Publish.

00:29

A prompt appears that states you must save the project before publishing.

00:33

Select Save project.

00:36

A dialog box opens.

00:38

If the project you are working on is already published, from here, you can update the project.

Or, you can publish as a new project.

00:46

In this example, New is selected.

00:49

If you wish, you can edit the project name.

00:53

Then, click in the Autodesk connected drive location field.

00:57

This opens a file browser.

00:59

Navigate to your Autodesk drive location where the project should be published.

01:03

If needed, you can create a new folder in which to publish your project.

01:08

It might take a few moments for the desktop connector to generate a new folder

01:12

and an error could display on the publishing dialog.

01:15

If an error does display, open the file browser and select the new folder again.

01:21

Back in the publishing dialog, select which scan subsets to include in publication.

01:27

Click Publish.

01:30

A loading progress indicator displays.

After it is published, the point cloud files from the project will begin to upload to the cloud.

01:38

Due to the size of most point clouds, this process could take quite a bit of time.

01:43

Once it has published successfully to the cloud, open the connected drive location, such as Autodesk Docs, in your web browser.

01:52

Navigate to your project and select the ReCap project file, which has a .rcp file extension.

01:58

This opens the project in the Autodesk Viewer.

02:02

Once published, you can add people to the project so they can view, edit, or markup the file.

02:08

Changes made to a published file update to files synced to local machines,

02:13

and changes made to a file on a local machine will update to the files on the cloud.

02:18

Publishing to the cloud is an easy way to collaborate with others on your ReCap Pro point cloud projects.
