The document discusses proposed changes to the Synchro Pro best practices document regarding model imports. It finds that importing models using the Synchro plugin as an SPX file maintains parameter visibility like GUIDs after import, unlike importing from FBX, DWF, or without the plugin. Parameter information is important for auto-matching models to tasks based on names and IDs, and for creating 3D filters to assign resources, highlighting the importance of the Synchro plugin. It concludes the best practices document should be edited to reflect these findings.

1. SUGGESTING CHANGES IN THE SYNCHRO
PRO BEST PRACTICES DOCUMENT

2. IMPORTANCE OF PLUGIN FOR SYNCHRO PRO
Model imported to Navisworks from Revit as a NWC file. After import GUID is
maintained.
GUID is Visible

3. Model imported to Synchro Pro from Revit/Navisworks as a FBX file. After import GUID
is not visible.
After FBX import, GUID or
other parameters are not
Visible in Synchro Pro

4. Model imported to Synchro Pro from Navisworks as a DWF file. After import GUID is not
visible. Also, Model is not aligned as per the view cube.
After DWF import, GUID or
other parameters are not
Visible in Synchro Pro

5. Model imported to Synchro Pro from Revit/Navisworks as a SPX file using Synchro Plugin .
After import GUID is visible . Also, other Project parameters are maintained.
After SPX import, GUID and
other parameters are
Visible in Synchro Pro

6. WHY GUID OR OTHER PARAMETERS ARE IMPORTANT ?
Parameter information is
important to utilize the auto
matching function of Synchro Pro .
If model elements have name and
task id Similar to task name in
Synchro Pro, It can be directly
linked without the manual labor of
assigning the resources.
• AUTO MATCHING

7. WHY GUID OR OTHER PARAMETERS ARE IMPORTANT ?
Parameter information is
important to create the 3D filters.
This Filters can be used to assign
the resources to the associated
task.
• 3D FILTERS

8. Synchro Pro best practices needs to be edited.
