Resources Wizard and Creating Resources

 

Create Resource for all “Structural Foundations” 3D objects

1. Select one footing object in 3D window
2. Reselect it in 3D Objects window
3. Use Shift + Left arrow to eventually have the entire “Structural foundations” node selected
   
   
   
4. Right click in 3D View or 3D Objects
5. Resource Wizard → Material → Assign to Resource, do not build tree
   

 

Synchro Challenge

1. How many 3D object is Structural Foundation resource associated with?
   
   
   
2. Why can’t individual Structural Foundation (footing) objects be selected in 3D View after this Resource is created?

Create Resource for “grade beam” 3D objects

1. Select one Equipment object in 3D window
2. Reselect it in 3D Objects window
3. Use Shift + Left arrow to eventually have the entire “Wall” node selected
4. Right click in 3D View → Filters → Isolate Selected, to visually confirm
5. ESC and then Window Select (Top right to bottom left) all Equipment 3D objects in 3D view
6. Right click in 3D View or 3D Objects
7. Resource Wizard → Name “ Equipment” Type “Material” → Assign to Resource, do not build tree

Synchro Challenge

1. How many 3D object is Grade Beam resource associated with?
   
   
   
2. Can individual Grade Beam objects still be selected in 3D View after this Resource is created? Why?

 

Create Resources for all “Structure” 3D objects

1. Select the node “Structure” in 3D Objects window
2. Right click in 3D Objects window
3. Resource Wizard → Name “Structure” Type “Material” → Assign to Resource, build tree

Synchro Challenge

1. How many 3D object is each Slab resource associated with?
   
   
   
2. Does the Slab Resource tree look the same as the Slab 3D Objects tree?
3. Can individual Slab objects still be selected in 3D View after this Resource (tree) is created? Why?
4. How many 3D object is each "Structural Columns” resource associated with?
   
   
   
5. Does the “Structure Framing” Resource tree look the same as the associated “Structure Framing” 3D Objects tree?
6. Can individual “Pile cap” objects still be selected in 3D View after this Resource is created?
7. What does “limit Resource tree level by __” do?

Create/modify the following Resources

1. Create/modify the following Resources and make sure you can still select 3D objects individually.
   • Piles
   • Roof slabs
   • Structural Columns
   • Structural framing / beams
     
     

2. Rename “Structural Foundations” Resource to “Pile caps”
3. Understand Resources -3D Objects Relationship.

Select each created Resource, check the following:

• When the Resource is selected, are the associated 3D objects selected?
• How many associated 3D objects are selected?
• Which column indicates number of 3D objects associated with the selected Resource?
• Are they highlighted in 3D Objects window?
• Are they selected in 3D View?

Summary

1. How many types of Resources does Synchro have?
2. What is the relationship between 3D Objects and Resources?
   1. One 3D Object can be assigned to many Resources
   2. Many 3D Objects can be assigned to one Resource
   3. One 3D Object can be assigned to one Resource
   4. Many 3D Objects can be assigned to many Resources
3. How to create Resources? What are the general steps?
4. What is the keyboard shortcut for Resource Wizard?
