Perhaps the most significant "work" ReCap 2020 performed was invisible to the user: integration with BIM 360 (now part of Autodesk Construction Cloud).

Examining the 2020 version critically, users noted specific limitations that defined its "work" as often frustrating. Firstly, the capabilities were rudimentary compared to dedicated software like RealityCapture or MeshLab; ReCap 2020 struggled to produce watertight meshes for 3D printing. Secondly, performance remained a hurdle: working with a 5-billion-point project on a standard laptop often resulted in freezing or "grey cloud" viewports. Finally, the classification tools (automatically identifying vegetation vs. building vs. ground) were less advanced than in 2020's competitors, leaving much of the semantic enrichment to downstream software.
