What is a Procore plugin and what is it used for?
Answer
The Procore BIM Plugins is an integration tool for Windows® that connects Procore’s BIM tools with industry-standard 3D design software, including Autodesk® Navisworks®, Revit®, and AutoCAD®.
The Procore BIM Plugin integrates with:
Coordination Issues
- Manage Issues: Create, view, and edit co-ordination issues directly in Navisworks® or Revit®. You can update status, reassign issues, and @mention users in comments without leaving your design software.
- Resolve: Use the integrated Clash Manager in Navisworks® to group, filter, and convert raw clash data into manageable co-ordination issues.
- Elevate: Escalate co-ordination issues by elevating them to a Procore RFI or moving them to a Procore Observation.
Models
- Publish: Upload Navisworks® models (NWDs) directly to the Procore Models tool and manage model versions to ensure the team is viewing the latest data.
- Contextualize: Export gridlines from Revit® to anchor the model to the site's physical grid system. This enables the mobile 2D View, allowing field teams to navigate the model as a familiar floor plan and communicate locations precisely (e.g., Grid A-5).
- Map & Visualise: Map 2D sheets to 3D models. This enables the 2D/3D Linking feature, allowing field users to tap a location in the model to jump to the corresponding drawing sheet.
Locations (Project Admin)
-
Streamline: Import Levels, and Rooms directly from Revit® for import into the Location hierarchy in a Procore project's Admin tool.
Documents
- Export: Push drawings, PDFs, and other construction documents from AutoCAD® or Revit® directly to specific folders in the Procore Documents tool.
- Reference: Open or append files stored in Procore Documents directly into your active Navisworks® or AutoCAD® session.
- Extract: Export object data from a model file directly to a CSV format.
