Add a Section Box to a Model

Adding a 'section box' to your model before publishing it to Procore helps to ensure the best viewing experience in the Models tool and prevent rendering issues.

If your model is using 'shared/world' coordinate systems as the base point, it's critical to use a section box. This will allow Procore to automatically localize the coordinate system for the model.

• Required User Permissions

• You must have access to Navisworks® and the Procore plugin.

   Make a selection in the Selection Tree and use the Fit Selection button to automatically snap your box to the selection.
   Note: Architectural or Structural models are usually good options to fit.
