Introduction20:45
Explore the basics of planning and 4D simulation with Synchro 4D Pro, introducing key concepts and workflows for efficient project visualization in English.
02 - Options and Controlling the software17:05
Set up and control a Synchro project across local and server workspaces, manage permissions, and customize options such as date formats, currency, and appearance for BIM scheduling.

Import 3D objects into Synchro14:07
Import 3d objects into Synchro to learn how to import 3d files from BIM programs in supported formats, including IFC, and apply units, translation, scale, rotation, and visibility controls.
Navigating the 3D Project and View Properties14:27
Navigate the 3D campus in Syncro, mastering the left scene and right properties panels. Move through the model, hide elements, and highlight items with camera controls.
3D Navigation and Advanced Skills18:02
Explore 3d navigation and advanced skills in synchro 4d, from creating 3d elements (box, sphere, text) to using cutting planes, annotations, and measurements for mobilization and planning.

Introduction to scheduling9:20
Learn to build and manage a Synchro Pro project schedule, importing or creating activities, configuring calendars and WBS, and linking tasks with chains to schedule selected items.
Tasks and Gantt Chart.mp44:00
Learn to navigate the tasks and gantt chart in synchro 4d, adjust the timeline with controls, zoom and text position, and identify days with no scheduled work using color cues.
Exploring Task Properties4:14
Explore how to manage and link tasks, inspect details like name, calendar, and notes, and set time-based start and finish constraints in the 4D schedule.
Gantt Display options and Schedule Manner9:29
Learn to customize the Gantt display and scheduling in 4D BIM by adjusting colors, grouping by status or activity code, editing tasks, baselining, and using alerts.
Master Task Filters21:51
Master task filters in Synchro 4D to isolate finished tasks, milestones, and contractor-specific work. Create and apply custom filters to support 4D planning, reporting, and time-based views.
Baseline, scenarios and Synchronizations24:27
Explore how to create and manage baselines and scenarios in Synchro 4D BIM scheduling, compare past and current plans, and import, update, and synchronize schedules to track progress and delays.

How Synchro deals with resources and how to load the right one12:28
Convert 3d elements into resources in synchro via the Jul tab, defining equipment, human, location, and material, then use the resource wizard to group and name them.
Resources Loading and Advanced Options5:16
Explore resources loading for a Revit model in Synchro 4D, choosing depth levels for 3D object trees, and aligning resources with WBS and execution methods for efficient 4D planning.
Deep into the resource wizard6:31
Master the resource wizard to define resources correctly, link each task, and choose among four options—assign or add resource with or without building a tree—to structure building components.

Requirements

No prior experience with Synchro 4D Pro is necessary.
Basic knowledge of construction project workflows and scheduling concepts is a plus, but not required.
