# Importing ReCap Files

> How to import Autodesk ReCap .rcp and .rcs files in Asset Transformer Studio

Importing a ReCap file (\*.rcp or \*.rcs file) in Asset Transformer Studio requires Autodesk ReCap to be installed (with a valid license) on the same computer on which Asset Transformer Studio is running.

## Download ReCap SDK

Download the ReCapSDK v20.1.1 from the Autodesk Developer Network website, with a valid Autodesk developer account.

## Configuring Asset Transformer Studio

To start importing \*.rcp and \*.rcs files in Asset Transformer Studio, the software needs to be configured first from the menu Preferences:

> 1. Press `F9` or go to [Edit](../../user-interface/menu-bar/edit-menu) menu > [Preferences](../../user-interface/menu-bar/edit-menu/preferences) > `IO` > `Import` > `Recap`
> 2. Set the `ReCapSDKpath` parameter to target the `Bin` folder contained in the folder that you unzipped at the previous step.

If the path is not properly configured, Asset Transformer Studio will prompt the following error message:

## Additional parameter

Set the `RecapLoadPointOfView` parameter to 'True' if you wish to load the Points of View (spheres + 360° textures) contained in a ReCap project (providing they exist).

Along with the Points of View, scanner's characteristics are retrieved as metadata information.
