Key Features
4D Modeling & Virtual Planning
Break down design models into constructible components; visualize and simulate construction sequences and what-if scenarios.[reference:66]
Scheduling Integration
Create schedules or integrate with tools like P6 and Asta Powerproject; link schedules to 3D models to build dynamic 4D timelines.[reference:67]
Clash Detection
Perform clash detection using integrated BIM data for proactive issue resolution before construction begins.[reference:68]
Progress Tracking
Monitor progress and analyze cost and schedule performance; automate progress tracking from field updates.[reference:69]
CAD Interoperability
Interoperable with 50+ CAD applications; direct import of IFC models in versions 2x, 2x2, 2x3 and 4.[reference:70]
Cloud Collaboration
SYNCHRO Control enables cloud storage, web browser review of models and 4D schedules, and model-based progress updates via mobile app.[reference:71]
Capabilities
- Reduce cost variance with comprehensive resource management and planned vs. installed quantity tracking[reference:72]
- Align teams with visual reports and simulations that make plans easy to understand[reference:73]
- Identify issues early in a dynamic 4D environment to minimize errors and rework[reference:74]
- Integrate with cloud-based dashboards for performance tracking[reference:75]
- Supports IFC model export in versions 2x, 2x2 and 2x3[reference:76]
