Procore Model Manager - Beta Access & Feedback

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).

To access the beta and provide feedback Show/Hide Details

  • How to Access: Participating companies must sign the Procore Beta Agreement. Once signed, your Procore Administrator coordinates with your Procore point of contact to enable Model Manager (Beta) on specific Procore projects.

  • How to Provide Feedback During Beta: Contact your dedicated Beta program lead.

  • How to report critical issues: Report breaking changes to Procore Customer Support. For general feedback or non-critical issues, contact your Beta program lead or Procore point of contact.

In the Next-Gen Viewer, project views allow tool Admins to organize and save specific perspectives of a 3D model, making it easier for your team to navigate to critical areas quickly. By managing viewpoints within these views, you ensure that collaborators always have access to the most relevant visual data without needing to manually recreate complex camera angles or section cuts.

Tip

What's the difference between a viewpoint and a project view? In Procore, a viewpoint acts as a spatial bookmark for a specific camera angle. While you can create these in Autodesk® and import them with your file uploads, a project view offers more control. It combines the viewpoint (where to look) with specific data filters and layer settings (what to see), ensuring field teams always have the visual clarity they need.

Things to Consider

  • Required User Permissions (Note: At the launch of the Beta, only 'Admin' level permissions are available. Additional permissions will be phased in during the product lifecycle).
