"Trial Expired, SYNCHRO 4D Pro" or "SYNCHRO 4D Pro Trial" message window for existing SYNCHRO Pro users

SYNCHRO 4D Pro is a new license introduced to this release that enables the iModel functionality in addition to the traditional Pro license, which is why users upgrading to 2019.2 will get a notification about a 7 day trial for the SYNCHRO 4D Pro license. SYNCHRO Pro will continue to work as it always has after the 7 day for 4D Pro (iModel) trial ends. Since the names of the licenses are so similar, this may cause some confusion.

SYNCHRO 4D Pro includes beta features for iModel integration. User may be prompted with a message window after upgrade which says “SYNCHRO 4D Pro trial” message window. User can cancel or close the message window to proceed with the trial. SYNCHRO Pro will continue to work as normal. After 7 days when 4D Pro license expires, SYNCHRO Pro will detect that entitlement is expired and will disable Options>Plugin modules setting for iModel so that the license is not checked for on opening Pro anymore and the dialog about expired license will not be raised again. User can disable this setting earlier if they do not want to see trial license message or use iModel features in Options> Plugin, uncheck iModel.

The trial period notification the user receives is for the SYNCHRO 4D Pro license (iModel related features) only. SYNCHRO Pro will continue to work as it always has after the 7 day for 4D Pro (iModel) trial ends.

Major Improvements and New Features

• New color modes by task and resources table column, in addition to existing 3D table column coloring, allows coloring model by any task, resource, or 3D parameter using conditional formatting in the tables.This is helpful for analyzing the concrete pours by volume, highlighting piping exceeding certain length, and flagging 3D objects related to tasks with longer durations. Play back the 4D model to visualize the data.
• Legend for Task/Resource/3D table column color modes can now be displayed in 3D View.
• Custom Focus Time Indicator in 3D View Properties and Animation exports. Format the date/time any way you want: include Project Week or Day numbers. Now you have the flexibility to show time of day or date only, add custom text, etc.
• Reschedule Options Dialog combines all rescheduling settings in one place for ease of use.
• Gantt Display Options Dialog combines edit settings for Gantt Chart in one place: edit grouping, bar colors, link display, and toggle indicators on/off.
• Late Dates Gantt bars and simulation using Late Dates can be used to compare early and late dates in the Gantt chart and in side-by-side 3D windows in order to understand the latest time a task must be started or finished without delaying the project schedule.
• Save Selected Tasks as Filter can save selected Tasks as task filter for reuse later.
• Focus Time keyframes linked to tasks allows automatic update of animation if schedule changes to prevent rework.
• User-defined project Constants can be used for calculation in User Field Formulas and Script.
• Fill down command in tables can easily copy parameter values to non-consecutive rows.
• Collapse/Expand to a specific level in tables can quickly collapse to a certain level to show the Work Breakdown Structure or Code summaries and hide detailed tasks.
• Assign Resource Statuses with Script in bulk based on Resource properties (e.g. User Field value).
• Auto-match Resources to Resource Groups can automatically assign Resources in bulk to Resource Groups based on Resource properties (e.g. User Field value).
• Separated Resources from companies allows greater flexibility in Resource tree restructuring. Company is now an optional parameter for Resources.
• Submit your ideas for improvements and new features is available from help menu and support window.
