Answer

The Procore BIM Plugin is an integration tool that connects your Windows®-based 3D design software—like Autodesk® Navisworks® and Revit®—directly to the Procore platform. It serves as a "bridge" between your design authoring software (where models are built) and Procore (where the project is managed), by allowing Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) teams to publish 3D models and manage coordination issues without constantly switching between applications. To learn more, see Procore BIM Plugin.

 Procore Plugin Consolidation & Availability

Procore is currently consolidating its legacy plugins into a single, unified Procore BIM Plugin.

  • The standalone legacy Documents plugin has been retired.
  • The legacy VDC plugin remains active for specific workflows until this transition is complete.

    • Procore BIM Plugin (New Standard)

      • Download from: The project's Coordination Issues or Documents tool.

    • Procore VDC Plugin (Legacy)

      • Use for: Model publishing and managing locations.

      • Download from: The project's Models tool or the Locations utility in the project's Admin tool.

  • Do I need to uninstall the legacy plugins? Show/Hide      
    • No. This transition is designed to be seamless. If you already have a legacy plugin installed, the transition happens silently in the background when you receive the update required notification. See When are mandatory updates released for the Procore BIM Plugin?

      • Procore Documents Plugin: No action needed. The Procore BIM Plugin installer automatically finds and replaces the legacy Documents plugin.

      • Procore VDC Plugin: No action needed. This plugin runs safely side-by-side with the new Procore BIM Plugin. Keep this installed if you need to publish models or manage locations, as these features have not yet been transitioned
