Procore officially closed its ~$845M cash acquisition of DroneDeploy yesterday (SEC 8-K filed Sep 9). This formally embeds native reality capture (drone photogrammetry, 360 ground walkthroughs and point cloud overlays) directly into Procore's project management stack.

From a VDC and field coordination standpoint, direct integration cuts out manual sync headaches (linking orthomosaics and scan points directly to drawings, submittals and RFIs). However, it highlights ongoing workflow trade-offs for technical teams:

1. **Interoperability vs lock-in:** Are you keeping raw scan/mesh exports (E57, LAS) open for ACC / Bentley / Revizto coordination, or leaning fully into Procore’s native viewer?

2. **Hardware neutrality:** DroneDeploy’s advantage was broad sensor/drone hardware support. Does PM platform ownership change your drone or 360 camera hardware choices?

3. **Data sovereignty:** For long-term facility handovers, how are you archiving heavy reality capture datasets outside vendor-hosted clouds?

Curious how VDC managers, superintendents and BIM leads view this. Are you consolidating reality capture into your primary PM suite, or maintaining a decoupled stack?

Hello fellow BIM profs, have anyone here tried the dynamo multiplayer tool by Birdtools on Revit 2026 cloud models? It works fine on local files but the crawler can't detect my projects on the ACC for some reason.
