SYNCHRO 4D - Virtual Construction & Planning

In this course we are going through basics of Bentley Synchro 4D (Time), focused on construction sequencing to help you to plan and monitor your project more effectively.

It is introductory to intermediate level course starting with basics and move gradually towards advance topics by learning commands and doing practice exercises.

This course is appropriate for anyone (egineers, architects, BIM modelers and managers) involved in construction delivery - including planners and schedulers, virtual design coordinators, and project managers. The course will introduce you to 4D scheduling in SYNCHRO.

The course starts with an introduction, overview and user interface / navigation in Bentley Synchro 4D.

In the sections 2-3, we try to cover up all the means to import data into Synchro 4D like Schedules and 3D Models. Includes a serie of sessions related to filters followed by a practice exercise. After this, you may understand the concepts of scheduling and resources along with a practice exercise to get a better understanding.

In the section 4-5 of this course, we learn about appearance profiles, growth simulations, sub-divisions, and equipment transformation. After a few topics, we do practice exercises to revise and sharpen the concepts learned recently.

In sections 6-7, we learn how to animate, render and report the timeline using export animation feature. Please be noted that there is no hard and fast rule to execute a specific command as there are multiple approaches to create similar output, however, we try to follow the simplest approach possible to make this course easy and fun to learn for you.
