SYNCHRO’s 2020 (v6.3) release introduces SYNCHRO 4D Pro as a new desktop product that includes all of SYNCHRO Pro’s functionalities and brings more value to users and construction projects by including Control 4D cloud service to feature our vision for collaborative 4D planning, scheduling and visualization. 4D project data is more accessible than ever. Users can author the 4D model through 4D Pro, view and playback 4D animation online and perform model-based progress tracking through mobile. Behind the Control 4D cloud service is Bentley’s iModel/ iTwins technology. Existing SWP users will appreciate that users can set up 4D collaborations projects on their own and that there is no longer a per-project license cost - cloud-hosted 4D projects are included with the 4D visa.
