• Find uncontained items. Choose this to select any items in the scene that are not attached to a
task, or are not contained within any other item attached to a task.
Note
A Contained item is the child of another item. For example, if you select a Group, Block or Cell
which is comprised of various pieces of geometry, then that geometry is contained within the
Group, Block or Cell. A Group, Block or Cell may therefore be attached to a task and although
the child geometry is not directly attached ltself, it is contained within an item that is attached.
• Find contained items. Choose this to select any items in the scene that are either attached to a
task or contained within any other items attached to a task.
• Find attached items. Choose this to select any items in the scene that are directly attached to a
task.
• Find items attached to multiple tasks. Choose this to select any items in the scene that are
directly attached to more than one task.
• Find items contained in multiple tasks. Choose this to select any items in the scene that are
either attached to, or contained within any other item that is attached to more than one task.
• Find items attached to overlapping tasks. Choose this to select any items in the scene that are
attached to more than one task, where the task durations overlap.
• Find items contained in overlapping tasks. Choose this to select any items in the scene that are
either attached to, or contained within any other item that is attached to more than one task, where
the task durations overlap.
• Tools. This option enables you to quickly create your own schedule, based on model layers, topmost
items, or selection sets:
• Add named task for each topmost Layer. Choose this to create a new task for each topmost
layer in the current scene. Each task will be named the same as the topmost layers and each layer
will be attached to the corresponding task. Start and End dates will be automatically created,
starting from the current date and incrementing by one day for each subsequent end and start
date. Planned Start and End dates will also be automatically created and these will be the same as
the 'Actual' dates. Finally, the task type will be set to Construct.
• Add named task for each topmost item. Choose this to create a new task for each topmost item
in the current scene, which may be a layer, a group, block or cell, or geometry, depending on how
the model is constructed. Each task will be named the same as the topmost item and each item will
be attached to the corresponding task. Start and End dates will be automatically created, starting
from the current date and incrementing by one day for each subsequent end and start date.
Planned Start and End dates will also be automatically created and these will be the same as the
'Actual' dates. Finally, the task type will be set to Construct.
• Add named task for each selection set. Choose this to create a new task for each selection set
in the current scene. Each task will be named the same as the selection set and each selection set
will be attached to the corresponding task. Start and End dates will be automatically created,
starting from the current date and incrementing by one day for each subsequent end and start
date. Planned Start and End dates will also be automatically created and these will be the same as
the 'Actual' dates. Finally, the task type will be set to Construct.
