What is the Procore BIM Plugin and what is it used for?

Answer

A plugin is a software component that is installed onto your computer to add a feature into an existing application. Procore offers one unified Procore BIM Plugin to use with your Windows®-based design software such as Autodesk® Navisworks®, Revit®, and AutoCAD®. See Procore BIM Plugin.

Once the plugin is installed, the respective program will have a 'Procore' tab where you can perform tasks designed to streamline your BIM workflows.

About the Unified Procore BIM Plugin

In January 2026, Procore consolidated its legacy plugins into a single, unified Procore BIM Plugin. The standalone Documents plugin and VDC plugins have been retired. See Procore BIM Plugin: Consolidation & Update History.

Which plugins do I need? Show/Hide Details

  • Only the Procore BIM Plugin

    • Use for: Coordination workflows, file management, model publishing, and managing locations.

    • Download from: The project's Coordination Issues, Documents, Models tool or the Locations utility in the project's Admin tool.

Do I need to uninstall the legacy plugins? Show/Hide Details

No. This transition was designed to be seamless. If you already have the legacy Documents or VDC plugin installed, the transition happens silently in the background when you receive the update required notification. See When are mandatory updates released for the Procore BIM Plugin?
