Info

If your interface looks different than the steps described on this page, please consult the official documentation for your specific OS or browser version. Procore does not manage third-party software settings, but we recommend these optimizations for the best experience with our 3D tools.

Things to Consider

  • Required User Permissions

  • Additional Information:

    • Updates: Ensure your Windows OS and graphic drivers are up to date.

    • Scope: Repeat these steps for any other browser you use with the Next-Gen Viewer.

Note

Viewing on Mobile? Manual optimization is not required for iOS or Android. The Procore BIM Plugin automatically utilizes your device's hardware. For best performance, see What are the hardware and software specifications for viewing models?
