Importing the fls files in ReCap to get a rcp?

RCP is the native point cloud format from Autodesk products and ReCap contains the complete point cloud engine.
FLS is the raw data format from Faro

Hi VXGrid,

Thanks for the reply:).

My concern is about importing the FLS(Exported from Faro Scene) files directly in Navisworks without creating the Recap file.

Navisworks is supporting all faro extensions(.fls,.fws,.iQscan etc.) but still its giving some error.

Normally there are two possible reasons for this:
  1. The SDK installed on your computer is older than the SDK which was used to generate the Faro files, try to update you SDK: https://knowledge.faro.com/Software/FAR ... _for_SCENE
  2. The scan you try to import is defect, check the size of the file is bigger than 50 MByte (depending on the used resolution) as well as check the planar view in Scene of this scan
