New Connector Request: Synchro4d

Hi
I recommend if there is a connector between synchro 4d pro and Navisworks

Please take it as a new request:)

Thanks!

All connectors are between host apps and speckle. so this is two requests :smiley:

Great to gooo ahead :wink:

As a further caveat, we don’t receive model data from speckle into Navisworks.

No need to receive, the idea is to send the Timeliner (for example) to speckle and receive it to Synchro as a base data compatible with Synchro Platform.

I don’t know if it’s possible or not, but I am sure you can handle it.

Thanks …

Got it. I was going by the original topic title.

Synchro isn’t something that has come up a lot before - lets see how much attention this request gets.

This is defiantly a connector I would like to see, I am currently trying to export an IFC out from synchro and use speckle to connect the exported IFC with the relevant 4D Data such as IFCTASK, IFCCALENDARDATE, IFCRELASSIGNSTASKS etc with Power BI. But when I bring the data into Power BI none of the 4D Property set are coming through.

I would love a Synchro 4D connector! I’m looking to extract schedule and resource data from the 4D file and visualise it with Speckle or PowerBI

It would be very nice to have a connector Synchro - Speckle

As the typical first question, rather than simply asking for a thing to exist, can you give any insight into how you see such connectivity working? Please describe, as best you can how it would work for you.

I will answer that :slight_smile: For me, such a connector would be useful to easily display an interactive Synchro model in Power BI together with all its dependencies. For example: when I move the timeline, my building gets constructed on the screen BUT (!) I also want to see more details—especially the status of 3D objects during each task. In other words, I want them to be color-coded depending on their status: whether an object is being built, demolished, serviced, etc. (in Synchro I achieve this using Appearance Profiles).

I would also like the 3D objects to appear or disappear as the timeline progresses, depending on the schedule—just like a temporary slab that is built to allow equipment to pass and then later demolished. I want the representation in Power BI to enable more people to work with 4D and support discussions with planners. It’s important that they can also rotate and clip the model. Here I have an example of a great dashboard, but in this case the model isn’t rotatable: Microsoft Power BI

As this is tagged Synchro and Navisworks, do you use Navisworks Timeliner at all?

We have a Navisworks connector that is publish only, but we don’t presently export the timeline data

Hi Jonathon, thank you. No, I don’t use Navisworks Timeliner.
