Currently in synchro Control \ Schedule the animation is starting at the Project Start Date.
Meaning that if the entire EPC schedule has been imported and only the Construction phase is animated (i.e. has been mapped to the 3D Model), User will have to wait seconds/minutes before to see an animation in the 3D Window.
4D Review should offer the possibility to start the animation at a any predefined date.
It has commonly been agreed in meeting held on 15-Apr-2021 between Bentley Systems and Technip Energies that Solution is:
to have the possibility, in Synchro Control, for Synchro Control administrator to predefined the playback review period (i.e. defined by the 2 Dates Boxes at left top corner of the Gantt window of Synchro Control \ Schedule) that will be available by default for all Users.
This enhancement request is internally referred as 4DMS-55.
Thank you for your idea. We have reviewed it and are planning to include it in a near future release.
