Hi folks!
I'm a new to the 3D Scan things, and hopefully you could suggest a proper working workflow for my current setup.I've got a Leica BLK 360, I am stitching the files with Ipad Pro (Autodesk Recap Mobile Pro) and Autodesk Recap Pro.
Now I need to transfer these results to Bentley Pod, because it's the only format that is compatible with siemens NX reference point cloud solution.
From Autodesk i can export to this formats:
-E57-PTS-RCP-RCS
and how could/should i transfer this to Bently .pod?
If you export in either E57 or PTS you should be able to convert to POD using any Bentley application such as Bentley Pointools, MicroStation, Bentley Pointools PODcreator etc.
You can use Bentley POD Creator. It is a free tool from Bentley.

Hi, Could you please provide me the link to download.
I am looking for the tool tool to convert .rcp to .pod, I am facing difficulties to find the tool and download.
There is no tool for RCP. You need to use Recap or FME. Just download Recap trial and after trial will be over it switches to standard edition and you can still export E57 and attach it to Microstation. Unfortunately by shortsighted move POD converter/creator is discountinued and you need to use other options.
Also RCP are project files that point to a number of RCS files and contain additional information such as scan regions, recorded distances, and annotations so there is no such concept for POD.
Unfortunately, POD creator has been discontinued . Anyway, RCP is, as I know, a proprietary format from AutoDesk and cannot be read by other software. You can use a trial of Recap to read and export what you want to a more common pointcloud format (e57, las,...) and then attach them in MicroStation (the conversion to POD will be automatic when attaching the pointcloud).
