Hi,
Is there a way to let Synchro calculate the required time for a task? For example: ''I have 100m2 of asphalt that has to be removed, I can remove 10m2 an hour'' Is it possible to let Synchro calculate the required time, and automatically update the planned duration of the linked task as the resource area (100m2) changes?
Hi Jan-Roelof,
You can do this in Synchro Pro by setting up Task Rules and using Physical Quantity Dependent option.
Please review the whole method in SYNCHRO Academy (link no longer available, please check learn.bentley.com)
Access the course SYNCHRO 4D Scheduling Quick Start 2020. Under this course you will find in Module 12 - Introduction to User Fields, Formulas, Rules and Scripts a subchapter 12.5. Physical Quantity Dependent Tasks and Durations which will detail how calculate task duration based on physical quantity. The tutorial explains also how the transfer the quantity information coming from the 3D resources into Physical Quantity property by using a script to automate the process, which is really cool. There is also a video for this in 12.6
Best regards,
Alex B
