# Offline 12d Model Projects

In many cases, it will be necessary to take a 12d model Project out of the office, whether into a satellite office with limited internet connectivity, or directly into the field for use with 12d Field. In these cases, connectivity to the 12d Synergy server may no longer be possible. You can use the 'Offiline' feature to help you.

## **1.1 Taking your 12d Model Project Offline**

The offline process with Check Out the 12d Model project so no one else can edit it on you whilst you are out.
