Model Manager (Beta)

Pins connect items from Procore tools to exact X, Y, Z coordinates in the 3D model space, so teams can locate and track issues like pipe clashes and structural conflicts. To learn how pins differ from links and which tools support each, see About Connected BIM.

• Required User Permissions

• Additional Information:

  • Pins sync to 2D Sheets based on your project's document repository:

    • Document Management: Pins sync to 2D Sheets in the Document Management tool. See About Pinning and Connected Items in the Document Management Tool.

    • Documents: Pins sync to 3D Sheets in the Drawings tool. See Create Coordination Issues on a Drawing or Add Observations to a Drawing.

Follow the appropriate steps below to either create a new pinned item or pin an existing item in a model.

Create a New Pin

Follow these steps to drop a new pin in a model:

1. Navigate to the Model Manager (Beta) tool.

2. View a model.

3. Click Items to open its panel.

4. Select one of the supported Procore tools to see items correlated to the model. In this example, we show how to pin a coordination issue, but you can create pins for other supported tools.
   

5. Enter Place Pin mode using one of these options:

   • If this is your first pin, you can click +Create. This only appears when no pins exist on the project model.

   • Click the Plus (+) icon at the top of the page.

   • If there are existing items in Procore, click the Pin icon on the item's card.
     

6. (Optional) Click any location on the model to place a pin marker
   

7. In the panel that appears, complete the required fields. The form's fields depend on the type of pin you create.

8. Click Create. A banner appears at the bottom of the page after the pin is created.

9. Hover over the new pin and click it to open it the Items panel.

Pin an Existing Item

Follow these steps to pin an existing item:

1. Navigate to the Model Manager (Beta) tool.

2. View a model.

3. Click Items to open the Items panel.

4. Select one of the supported Procore tools to see items correlated to the model.

5. On the desired item card, click +Pin.

6. Click a location in the model's 3D space to drop the pin. Procore links the existing item to a pin.
