Select File tab > Import > 3D.

1. Browse to the Training dataset, locate the training models under the Models folder. By holding down the CTRL key you can select multiple files for import. Select the following files:
   Site.dwfx
   Landscape.dwfx
2. Select Open.
3. Select Next to view the import settings. Ensure that your settings match those in the image below.
   
   
   
4. Ignore Hidden 3D Objects: when enabled, objects that are hidden by filters or other display controls in the 3D file will not be imported into the SP file.
5. Ignore Wireframe 3D Objects: when enabled, polylines, lines, circular arcs, circles, elliptical arcs, ellipses, and nurbs curves objects will not be imported into the SP file.
6. Load 3D Objects into memory: controls whether imported objects are automatically loaded into If disabled, imported objects will not be loaded into memory and will not be visible in the 3D window. Disabling this option tends to reduce the time to import and is recommended especially for large files.
   Note: To load/unload an object from memory after importing, check the box next to the object name in the 3D Objects tab.
   
   
7. Limit 3D Object tree levels by: This option determines the depth of the 3D file.
   Note: This feature is especially suitable for models containing multiple hierarchies, all of which are not required to map the 3D geometry to 3D resources.
   
   
8. Select Next to view additional import settings related to the geometry location, scale and rotation. We do NOT need to edit any of these settings for this.
   Note: The Rotate (DWF Format) option can be enabled to apply a 90º rotation about the X Axis specifically to Autodesk published DWF where the Y axis is set as vertically up.
   
   
9. Select Import. A progress bar will display while the files are imported.
10. When the import is finished the Resource Wizard will appear, choose No Assignment. We will cover the topic of Resources and Resource Wizard in the later practice sessions.
    
    
    Note: Selecting “No assignment “will finish the 3D import process without creating any Resources.
    
    These 3D objects would not be able to be assigned to Tasks until Resources were created. If you receive the warning shown below, it is likely because you chose No Assignment on import. You would then need to create Resources for the 3D objects by activating the Resource Wizard manually.
    
    
11. Then click Finish.
    
    Note: You may be presented with Duplicate Names warning window. This warning will sometimes appear when you import a file that had been exported from Revit. Within this Revit file, there are SubParts that appear at the bottom level of the 3D object tree, which is a result of copying and pasting in Revit. These SubParts have no unique IDs, making it impossible to identify any resource. If you select Finish, 3D Objects with duplicate names will be assigned to Resources. If you ignore this warning and begin assigning Resources to Tasks, and later synchronize from an updated 3D file, some Resource assignments will be lost because SYNCHRO cannot distinguish which 3D object is assigned to which Resource as they have the same name.
    
    It is therefore important to ensure all names for 3D objects are unique. In the case of SubParts, it can be done by limiting the 3D tree depth on import.

To save your work file at the end of each session, go to File tab > Save As > Private Project to save a local copy. Name your SYNCHRO project sp.
