created, such scenes must be linked to tasks in the TimeLiner project
schedule.
It is possible, that appearance or disappearance of static objects can obstruct
the movement of animated objects on site.
Setting up a time-based soft clashing enables the automated checking of this
throughout the project lifetime. When a time-based soft 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, re-route some
objects to avoid any space/time conflicts.
To prepare for time-based soft clashing
1 You need to set up necessary
static packages (page 699).
2 You need to set up necessary
dynamic packages (page 700).
3 You need to link the dynamic packages (animation scenes) to the correct
tasks in TimeLiner.
To link to a TimeLiner schedule
1 In Autodesk Navisworks open the project model file, which contains the
animated TimeLiner schedule.
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,
and at least one animation scene has been linked to one of the
TimeLiner tasks.
4 Click the Configure tab, and check the task types have been added to
match the static packages.
5 Click the Simulation tab, and play the simulation. Check the static
and dynamic packages are shown in the correct location and over the
correct periods of time.
6 If the Clash Detective window is not already open, click Home tab
➤ Tools panel ➤ Clash Detective
.
7 Click the Select tab.
