Overview
Model Publishing from the Documents tool enables users to publish BIM files directly from the Documents tool in Procore to Models tool, streamlining your workflow and eliminating the need for desktop solutions like Navisworks.
When new versions of models are uploaded to the Documents tool, they are automatically published to the Models tool, facilitating better collaboration and ensuring that all stakeholders have access to the latest project information.

Cost savings and risk mitigation: Prevents costly mistakes and construction failures by ensuring current data access.
File format support: Procore supports several BIM file formats, including Revit®, Navisworks®, and IFC.
