Finally, you can link to an animated TimeLiner schedule (a schedule in
which some tasks are linked to animation scenes), and run automatic
time-based soft clash tests.
Time-Based Clashing
Project models can include the static representation of temporary items, such
as work packages, ships, cranes, installations, and so on. Such static objects
can be added into the TimeLiner project, and scheduled to appear and
disappear at particular locations, over specific period of time.
As these static package objects 'move' around a project site, based on a
TimeLiner schedule, it is possible that some static package objects could, at
some point in the schedule, take up the same space, that is 'clash'.
Setting up time-based clashing enables the automated checking of this
throughout the project lifetime. When a time-based clash session is run, at
each step of TimeLiner sequence, Clash Detective is used to check if a
clash has occurred. If it has, a date of when the clash took place is logged,
along with the event that caused the clash.
You can review the
Clash Results (page 703) and, for example, reschedule
objects' appearance to eliminate such clashes.
To prepare for time-based clashing
1 Each static package that you want to use needs to be modelled in the
project model covering the area or volume required; for example, you
can use semi-transparent blocks.
2 These static packages must be added as tasks to the TimeLiner schedule.
3 Extra task types must be added to TimeLiner (on the Configure tab)
to represent different types of static packages. You also need to configure
the appearance for each added task type.
To link to a TimeLiner schedule
1 In Autodesk Navisworks open the project model file, which contains the
TimeLiner schedule with the static package tasks.
2 If the TimeLiner window is not already open, click Home tab ➤ Tools
panel ➤ TimeLiner
.
3 Click the Tasks tab, and check the static package tasks are displayed.
