Create and sync scan groups

Organize project scans into Scan Groups and sync them between ReCap Pro and the ReCap Cloud Viewer.


00:03

In the Project Browser or directly in the scene, you can drag and drop to quickly sort project scans into multi-level groups.

00:11

By organizing the scan data into specific categories, understanding and navigating a project becomes more intuitive and efficient.

00:19

You can then sync your scan groups bidirectionally between ReCap Pro and the ReCap Cloud Viewer.

00:25

To create scan groups in the cloud viewer, from the Project Browser, click Add Scan Group, and then enter a group name.

00:36

A new scan group appears as a subgroup of All Scans.

00:40

From within a group, you can click Add Scan Group again to create additional nested sub-groups.

00:47

Drag and drop scans into each group as needed.

00:52

Press and hold CTRL to select multiple scans at a time.

00:56

Once scan groups are created, you can click on any scan group to navigate to its location,

01:02

or use Search to quickly find a specific scan group.

01:07

Click the More button next to any scan group to rename, isolate, or delete groups.

01:14

To focus on a specific area, select Isolate scan group;

01:20

or click the Eye icon to hide or display specific scans.

01:26

In this example of one floor of a building, the scans have been grouped based on the different rooms available in this data set.

01:33

This project has already been published, but you want to make some changes to the group structure in ReCap Pro.

01:40

Drag and drop the cubical space groups to create a Cubicle Spaces group with two nested sub-groups to better organize this space.

01:49

Once you have cleaned up your data, you can publish the changes.

01:53

From the Home menu, select Publish.

01:58

You can choose to just publish the Cubicle Spaces scans or leave all scans selected, as in this example.

02:05

Then, click Update.

02:08

Now, switch to ACC Docs and open the RCP project in the ReCap Viewer.

02:15

You can see that the cubicle groups have synced to match the changes you made.

02:19

If needed, you can make further changes in the viewer and sync them back to ReCap.

02:24

In this case, create a new group called “Level 1”, then drag and drop all scans into this top-level group.

02:34

Back in Recap Pro, from the Home menu, expand Publish, and then select Sync.

02:43

In your Project Navigator, the new Level 1 group appears, allowing you to toggle the visibility of the entire group.

02:51

You can now import new scans with a cleaner approach, such as adding a Level 2 above Level 1.
