Synchro 4D Pro Fundamentals

This course is intended for individuals who wish to learn about the core features and tools of Synchro 4d Pro for project management and advanced work simulation through 4d Bim. 

What will you learn?

• You will be taken through the basics and functionality of SYNCHRO 4D Pro. By the end of the course, you will be able to import a model and programme of works, fully link the model to the schedule using colour coded work simulation and growth profiles, review the construction sequence and create an animation video for presentation purposes.

Pre-requisites: This course is designed for those who are new to SYNCHRO as well as experienced users requiring a refresher. No previous experience of the software is necessary, although basic PC literacy/skills are recommended.
