How do I compare a real-world LiDAR site scan against my 3D design model in the Model Manager?

Deployment Status & Regional Availability

Model Manager, Procore’s next-generation replacement for the Models tool, officially launches in General Availability across the UK and Ireland (UKI) on October 15, 2026, alongside a global Beta for all other regions. Procore Mobile App (iOS/Android) support is also live in Beta as Procore continues to transform 3D model workflows. Stay tuned for additional features in future releases.

Background

The Model Manager supports native point cloud files directly inside the Next-Gen Viewer to help teams monitor construction progress. With native Point Cloud support, users can view real-world as-built conditions captured with LiDAR alongside your theoretical 3D models. By combining these data sets, you can easily verify that ongoing on-site construction matches your project's official design requirements without requiring external software.

Answer

You can upload and view your site scans alongside your 3D design models by using the integrated point cloud support inside the Next-Gen Viewer.

Supported File Formats

View Options in the Next Gen Model Viewer

You can interact with point cloud data in these ways, depending on your coordination needs:

  • Single File View: Open an individual LAS or RCS viewpoing to inspect a standalone site scan in the Next-Gen Viewer.

  • Federated Project Model: Open the federated project model in the Next-Gen Viewer to merge your point cloud files directly with your existing 3D model's viewpoints. This allows you to compile hundreds of files into one federated scene to instantly cross-reference reality against the design layout.
