Model Manager, Procore’s next-generation replacement for the Models tool, officially launches in General Availability across the UK and Ireland (UKI) on October 13, 2026, alongside a global Beta for all other regions. Procore Mobile App (iOS/Android) support is also live in Beta as Procore continues to transform 3D model workflows. Stay tuned for additional features in future releases.
This article documents a planned feature that is not yet available. Release timing is not guaranteed, and functionality described here may change before launch.
Admins can import search sets from Autodesk® Navisworks® into the Model Manager tool using the Search Sets Manager. This feature allows you to either import a valid Navisworks® Search Sets File (XML) or to upload or a Navisworks® model (NWD). With Search Sets, your team can save, organize, and run rule-based element filters across your models in Procore.
Admin Users: Import search sets, create/manage folders, and organize the shared project library.
Standard & Read Only Users: View and run the search sets in the shared project library and apply bulk visibility actions, such as Hide, Isolate, and Zoom to Selection.
Additional Information:
Procore adds new search sets with new unique identifiers (GUIDs).
Procore updates existing sets by overwriting the existing set's rules with the new version. This action is irreversible. The set keeps its original name and folder location unless you choose to overwrite them.
When you update an XML in Navisworks®, you must re-import it.
When you update an NWD file in Navisworks®, you must upload it to the document repository and then re-import it.
For XML Upload: A valid Navisworks Search Sets file (XML).
For NWD Import: An uploaded NWD model file containing embedded selection/search sets processed in Procore.
Navigate to the project's Model Manager tool.
In the left toolbar, click 
Search Sets.
In the Search Sets panel, click the plus (+) sign at the top and choose Import using XML. 
In the Attach Files window, add the file:
Drag and drop the file into the Attach Files window
Click Attach File and browse to the XML file from your computer.
Click Attach. A progress indicator shows you the progress. 
In the Import Search Sets panel, all of the search sets from the XML file appear.
When importing search sets, you must maintain the same folder structure as the source file. This helps to ensure a seamless experience for end users who run the imported sets.
Mark the desired check boxes to select the sets to import. 
Click the Import button.
Search conditions, folder hierarchies, and set names from your XML file are preserved in the library tree.
If any search sets share existing IDs with sets already in the library, a confirmation dialog will prompt you before updating matching definitions.
Navigate to the project's Model Manager tool.
In the left toolbar, click Search Sets.
In the Search Sets panel, click Import and choose Import from Navisworks.
In the Import Search Sets window, search for the Navisworks® (NWD) file that contains the search set information. The system maintains the same folder structure from the NWD file.
Mark the check boxes for the searches to import. 
Click the Import button.
In the Import Search Sets panel, create a new folder for the XML file. You must create one (1) folder per NWD search set file and it must have the same name as the file.
If you have previously imported search sets, a message appears for you to confirm that you want to replace the existing sets? 
Click Delete to proceed with the action.
