SketchUp Plug-in for 4D scheduling

In recent years 3D modeling and 4D scheduling & visualization play an important role to facilitate the complex phase of the construction project. SketchUp is a useful tool that can be applied to visualize any construction process efficiently. It facilitates the project managers to detect the delays and inaccuracies earlier. 4D modeling merges 3D drawings with a construction schedule and presents the sequence of construction over time.




There are several plug-in which are compatible with SketchUp to provide better construction scheduling.

Synchro: It is a 4D application (the last D being the “time” dimension) which is utilized to make building projects and schedule them simultaneously. This is useful to find out the parts of the building designs in 3 dimensional view and scrutinize advancement and schedules on each section. Synchro adjoins scheduling to Google SketchUp and convert Google SketchUp from 3D to 4D.

The users can assign human resources, costs, and materials to the building pieces, in 3D. This can monitor the development of the construction in a superior and efficient way without any problems.
