Model Manager (Project)

Mapping allows you to spatially anchor 2D PDF drawing sheets directly to your 3D model. By aligning specific points on a sheet with the 3D geometry, you create a visual overlay that sits on top of 3D structures. This provides a clear connection between 2D plans and 3D designs to help your team navigate to precise locations within the model.

• Required User Permissions

• Additional Information:

  • You can overlay up to 5,000 drawing sheets onto a single model.

  • The 2D sheet mapping source depends on your project's document repository:

    • Document Management: Map PDF drawings from the Documents Management tool.

    • Documents: Map PDF drawings from the Drawings tool.

  • 2D Sheets data is excluded from saved viewpoints.

• Upload at least one (1) PDF drawing to your project's document repository:

  • Document Management: See Upload Files to Document Management

  • Documents: See Upload Drawing Sheets for 2D Overlay

1. Navigate to the project's Model Manager tool.

2. Open the model.

3. In the left toolbar, click 2D Sheets .

4. In the 2D Sheets window, click Add Overlay.
   

5. Under Add 2D Overlays, do the following:

   1. In the Location card, select the location for the 2D overlay from the Level list.

      If you have sufficient access permissions to the Project Admin tool, you can:

      • Go to Locations. Click this link to open the Locations page in the Project Admin tool to add, edit, ore remove a location.

      • Edit a Level. Click this button to change the selected level for the 2D sheet.

      • Define a New Level. Click the drop-down list to click this button. You can search existing locations or select a location.

   2. In the Sheet Selection card, select a drawing sheet from the Drawings list. If you have sufficient permissions to access the Drawings tool, you can also click Go to Drawings tool.
      

6. Click Next.

7. In the Mapping Name box, change the name if you want.

8. Calibrate A/B reference points (2D-to-3D alignment) as follows:

   1. Select 3D reference points. Under Map Model, select two distinct points on the model geometry (for example, building corners or structural grid intersections) to set Point A and Point B.

   2. Select 2D reference points. Under Map Drawing, and click the exact corresponding points (Point A and Point B) on the 2D Sheet.
      

9. When finished, click Add Overlay.
   Procore aligns your 2D drawing with the 3D model. Once set, the 2D Sheet overlays the model at the specified elevation. A notification reminds users to reload the page to see an updated scene.
