Simulate tab. These dates will also be used when exporting animations.
You can define the Interval Size to use when stepping through the simulation using the playback
controls. The interval size can be set either as a percentage of the overall simulation duration or to an
absolute number of days or weeks, etc.
Use the drop-down list to select the interval unit, then use the Up and Down arrow buttons to increase or
decrease the interval size.
It is also possible to highlight all the tasks that are being worked on during the interval. By checking the
Show all tasks in interval check box, and for example setting the Interval Size to 5 Days, all tasks being
worked on during those 5 days will be set to their Start Appearance in the main view, including those that
begin and end within the bounds of the interval. The Simulation slider will show this by drawing a blue line
under the slider. If un-checked, tasks that begin and end within the bounds of the interval will not be
highlighted in this manner, and will need to overlap with the current date in order to be highlighted in the
main view.
You can define the overall Playback Duration for the complete simulation (the time needed to play it
through from start to finish). Use the Up and Down arrow buttons to increase or decrease the duration (in
seconds). You may also enter a duration directly into this field.
You can define whether the current simulation date should be overlaid on the main window, and if so
whether it should appear at the top or bottom of the screen. From the drop down, choose from None (to
display no overlay text), Top (to display the text at the top of the window), or Bottom (to display the text
at the bottom of the window).
You can Edit the information displayed in the overlay text using the Overlay Text dialog. This dialog also
makes it possible to alter the Font Type, Style and Size by clicking on the contained Font button.
You can add animation to an entire schedule, so that during the TimeLiner sequence playback,
NavisWorks will also play the specified viewpoint animation or camera.
