Welcome

Welcome to the Synchro™ User Guide

•

Synchro project management and visual simulation software combines 3D CAD output with leading Task scheduling functionality. Synchro enables you to merge project data from other software applications so that your entire delivery team can share one vision of your project virtually in real time - displayed with staggering clarity in multiple dimensions - to explore options and manage solutions.

•	There are four Synchro Products.

This User Guide seeks to provide all the information you need to start using Synchro. Note that Synchro Express only provides review functionality, and Synchro Workgroup, which works only in combination with a Synchro Server, provides all the functionality of Synchro Professional except for the option to save the project model file locally.
