Getting Started Guide: Procore BIM Plugin for Coordination Issues

After installing the Procore BIM Plugin on a Windows® computer, you gain the ability to create and manage coordination issues directly from your design software programs. This includes creating new issues, importing viewpoints, and locating specific items using Procore's search and filter capabilities. In addition, the plugin facilitates collaboration, allowing you to edit issue details, mention team members in comments, and update issue statuses without switching applications.

• Required User Permissions

• Additional Information

  • The Procore BIM Plugin does not support Navisworks® cloud markups. Read Why can’t I use the cloud redline tool in Navisworks?

• Software Installation & Model Setup

  • Download & Install the Procore BIM Plugin

  • Associate a Model with a Procore Project for Coodination Issues

• Configure Project Locations

  • For effective tracking, your Procore "Locations" must mirror your coordination schedule (e.g., Building A > Level 3 > North Corridor). You can populate Locations using one of these methods:

    • Import Locations from Revit® with the Procore BIM Plugin

    • Import Locations into the Project Level Admin Tool (Procore Imports)

    • Add Locations to a Procre Project

• User Access & Permissions

  • Assign permissions to Procore project users. See Change a User's Permissions in the Project Directory.

    Note

    Not sure what permissions to grant users? Procore recommends:

    • For Staff Designers : 'Standard' permissions on the Coordination Issues tool.

      • If inviting collaborators (consultants or vendors) to join a Procore project, exercise caution. To protect your company's information, it is important ensure they are not given higher permissions or granted access to any Procore tools that contain your organization's sensitive information.

    • For Field Staff (Superintendents, Foremen, Trades): 'Read Only' permissions
