Building a 4D model can be one of the best decisions a project team can make. It can bring numerous benefits such as enhanced schedule visualization, strategic construction path planning, and model-based collaboration.
Bentley’s signature solution, SYNCHRO 4D, has been instrumental in introducing 4D planning to construction projects around the world. There are numerous examples of customers who have invested in 4D and have reaped the benefits – financially and logistically. Here’s a few examples:
So how do you build a 4D model? It only takes 4 steps to get started!
Step 1: Importing Data
The first step is to gather all the data sets (such as 3D design models and construction schedules) and import them into SYNCHRO 4D. Please refer to this video.
Step 2: Assigning Resources
Next, create resources that can be assigned to tasks within the construction schedule. Please refer to this video.
Step 3: Building Animations
Third, build an animation of how a construction project is going to be built. Please refer to this video.
Step 4: The 4D Model
Finally, put the finishing touches on the 4D model and use it throughout the entire project. Please refer to this video.
The 4D model can be synchronized with the latest project data and improved over time with more advanced features.
