SYNCHROBIM软件名称：Synchro版本号：Synchro Open Viewer v4.9使用说明：1. IntroductionSynchro Open Viewer is a ‘light’ version of Synchro Professional.You will be able to open a prepared sp file and review the contents, but not all features are available.If you try to use one of the restricted features you will be presented with this message-The following tutorial explains the features that are available in this version of Synchro. 22. The Synchro WorkspaceInitial SetupStart Synchro Viewer by double clicking on the icon on your desktop 1.You will be presented with the following opening Synchro screen layout-If you need to download the training material select Synchro Training and this will present 2.you with the link to the FTP site to download the latest material Select (left mouse click) the Gantt tab (at the bottom of the Welcome panel) to display the Gantt 3.ChartSelect Task Properties (this will open Properties data sets on the right of the screen) 4.Select View Ribbon>Gantt Mode and select WBS 5.This training uses a Microsoft Project XML file with WBS structure but schedules may also be structured via Activity codes or ListPlace the cursor at the top of the 3D window so the arrow icon appears. 6. Select it with a left mouse click hold down and drag the 3D window up. All windows in Synchro can be adjusted by this methodMove between the Titles of the columns and drag each column to the left so it looks like the picture 7.below.3Right click in the heading field of the task list and select Customise Columns as shown below 8.You will be presented with the Customise Columns window.Select 3D in Available Columns and move it into 9.the Selected Columns field by selecting the single arrow button highlighted in red, then select OK.This will create an extra column which will show you how many 3D resources have been assigned to each task.NoteYou can rename the column titles if requiredYour workspace should now look like this-Tip: You can always reset your Synchro workspace to its default settings by selecting View Ribbon>Layout> Reset Layout. This also resets other presentation settings at the same time. 43. Screen LayoutThis training course will refer to different windows that you need to be aware of as shown below-Quick Access Toolbar contains commonly used icons (can be customised) Ribbon replaces the old feature ‘Main Menu’ from which you can access the commandsToolbars contain shortcuts and useful commands found in Synchro (can be customised)Gantt Chart window displays the list of Tasks3D View displays the modelled resources at any defined point in time. Navigator tabThe Navigator Window will be docked against the left hand side of the screen and is enabled using the tab towards the bottom of the screenIt contains useable datasets logically grouped by the categories shown above; for example Project details, Task and 3D filters, Viewpoints etc.The tab can be set to Auto Hide so if you hover over the Resource tab you will see the Resource Window appear. If you are using a laptop with one screen it is recommended to set this tab to Auto Hide although you can undock and repostion if required. 5NoteTo Auto Hide any window left click on Auto Hide icon3D Objects tab will be docked against the left hand side of the screen and is enabled using the tab towards the bottom of the screen-when populated this will contain the list of 3D objectsResource tab is located just above the 3D View and will be displayed in ‘Gantt Chart Window’ location initially (Can be relocated)- when populated this will contain the list of Resources. 6Resource Tab RelocationThe Resource tab can remain in the default location in the Main tab area but it is possible to move this to a new location.You can undock it then dock within the Navigator/3D Objects location as shown below1. Left click and hold on the Resources tab2. Keep holding the left mouse button then move the mouse (Resources tab will be undocked) then follow the explanation below.7Task Properties can be displayed by a left click of the mouse on the Task Properties tabTask Properties data sets present the properties of an individual task logically grouped in the categories shown below-Resource Properties can be displayed by a left click of the mouse on the Resource Properties tabResource Properties data sets present the properties of resources logically grouped in the categories shown below-3D Properties can be displayed by a left click of the mouse on the 3D Properties tab3D Properties data sets present the properties of 3D objects logically grouped in the categories shown below-3D Path Editor can be displayed by a left click of the mouse on the 3D Path Editor tab3D Path Editor data sets present the properties of 3D Paths logically grouped in the categories shown below-NoteIf you lose one of these windows (you may accidently hit the ‘X’ by mistake) you can reopen via the Windows Ribbon then select the one you require 8 4.

Select a task with cost assigned (in this case Task 14 Main Site Clearance) you will see the follow 2.result-27Tip- The EVA Graph manipulation is governed by pan and zoom in the Gantt Chart.To view a combination of cost resources/direct cost assigned to tasksYou can see the EVA results for combined tasks by selecting multiple tasks, summary tasks or the whole project.Right click in the task list then right click and choose Select All 3.Ensure Select All Tasks is select on the prompt window then select OK 4. You will see the following result-You will see the graph appear which contains-BCWS (The Budgeted Cost of Work Scheduled) in red which quantifies the value of tasks originally planned.BCWP (The Budgeted Cost of Work Performed) in grey which quantifies the value of tasks started but not yet finished.ACWP (The Actual Cost of Work Performed) in blue which quantifies the value of tasks that are finishedTip- You can show/hide BCWS, BCWP and/or ACWP using the tick boxes Move the Focus Time in the Gantt Chart to the left and right and you will see that the EVA graph 5.gives a forecast value at that moment in time (the red number).Select Task Properties >Cost Totals & Statistics to view further reports 6. Print your results for the EVA by File> Print and changing the Layout to EVA Graph + required 7.settingsSelect Windows Ribbon > EVA Graph to deactivate. 8.13.4 User Field GraphThe User Field Graph displays the assignment of user field values over time.For the purpose of this training we will show Space Allocation against time. The user fields were either populated from the imported schedule or created in SynchroSelect Windows> User Field Graph 1.28The User Field Graph manipulation is governed by pan and zoom in the Gantt Chart.The coloured bars are the result of values applied to tasks for element displayed in the legend-- 5m Work Margin- Structural Steel- Concrete CrewThe black line is a summary total of these elements on tasksThe red line is the set limit (This was applied in Synchro)Select Home Ribbon>Options>Gantt Chart>Colours>Gantt Graphs and ensure that 2.Incremental limit is selected. This will add/subtract the user field values of the limits rather than as a set figure. The settings should look as below:Moving the Focus Time in the Gantt Chart gives a reading for the summary and limits as you move it 3.When the Limit is exceeded the arrows may be used to navigate to the First, Next and Last over-allocationSingle arrow moves to next clash; double takes start or finishThe graph can be printed by the selecting File>Print and changing the Layout to User Field 4.GraphSelect Windows> User Field Graph to deactivate.。
