The Model Manager (Beta) features and documentation are subject to change without notice. (Note: At the launch of the Beta, only 'Admin' level permissions are available. Additional permissions will be phased in during the product lifecycle).
The Document Management tool is available to accounts in the following countries: United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand. It is not yet available for Procore accounts in the U.S. To learn more, please reach out to your Procore point of contact.
In the Next-Gen Viewer, dropping a pin in a 3D project model works the same way regardless of where your team stores its federated project model. Because pins utilize the Procore Connected Items feature, pins sync automatically between 3D models and 2D documents. The only difference is where your team views the 2D version:
Document Management: Pins sync to 2D drawing sheets (PDFs) within the Document Management tool.
Documents: Pins sync to 2D drawing sheets managed in the Drawings tool.
While the 3D experience remains identical, your chosen repository determines whether field teams access 2D pins in Drawings or Document Management.
What's the difference between a link & a pin in a model? A link ties a Procore record directly to a physical 3D model object (like a specific pipe or door). It does not require dropping a spatial pin. A pin ties a record to a specific spatial coordinate (X, Y, Z location) in the model by dropping a visual 3D pin.

Follow the appropriate steps below to either create a new pinned item or link a pin to an existing item in a 3D model.
Follow these steps to create a new pinned item in the federated project model:
Navigate to the Model Manager (Beta) tool.
Open the federated project model.
Click the Items icon on the left toolbar.
Select a tool (for example, Coordination Issues, Observations, etc) to see items correlated to the model.
Choose one (1) option:
If this is the first item, click Create.
If there are existing items, click the Plus (+) icon.
Click a location in the model's 3D space to drop the pin.
Fill out the required fields in the creation form and click Create.
Procore creates a new item and adds a new pin to the Items list.
Follow these steps to link a pin to an existing item in the federated project model:
Navigate to the Model Manager (Beta) tool.
Open the federated project model.
In the left toolbar, click the Items icon.
Select a tool (for example, Coordination Issues, Observations, etc) to see items correlated to the model.
On the desired item card, click +Pin.
Click a location in the model's 3D space to drop the pin. Procore links the existing item to a pin.
