Synchronizing the work area definition from the As-Built model in SDx provides a reference for your new project in Smart 3D.
Before synchronizing the work area definition, you must define SDx subscription settings. Otherwise, the software displays an error message.
-
Open Project Management, and select a Change Management model in the Project Management tree. The model that you select must be registered with a valid SDx server. See Register the Change Management model with SDx.
-
Click Integration > Synchronize Work Area from SDx Command to open the SDx Synchronization Status window.
-
Review the progress for the synchronize from SDx process. The Sync from SDx progress bar displays 100% when the work area definition is synchronized (1), and Sync Status in the Synchronize from SDx panel displays Completed (2).
-
Click Close when finished.
-
If an instance of work area definition synchronization is currently in progress, the software displays a message.
-
After you synchronize the work area definition, you can claim the objects to be modified, make design changes as needed, and then merge the changes back to the As-Built model in SDx.
-
The purpose of the Synchronize Work Area from SDx Command is two-fold. Initially, you use this command to synchronize the work area definition for a new Change Management model at the onset of project execution. After the project is underway, if there are any changes to the As-Built model in SDx, such as a separate project is completed and those changes are merged into the As-Built model, you can then use the Syncrhonize Work Area from SDx Command to refresh the initial work area definition to include the new 3D design data.
