The following options can be selected in the Animation field:
No Link - no viewpoint animation or camera animation will be played.
Saved Viewpoints Animation - links your schedule to the currently selected viewpoint or viewpoint
animation.
Scene X - > Camera - links your schedule to a camera animation in the selected animation scene.
You can pre-record suitable animations for use with the TimeLiner simulation (see Chapter 19, Animation
). Using animation also affects the Animation Export.
TimeLiner supports Planned and Actual dates and provides five simulation Views. Each view will
playback the schedule depicting Planned and Actual relationships:
Actual. Choose this view to simulate the Actual schedule only (i.e. only use the Actual start and
Actual end dates).
Actual (Planned Differences). Choose this view to simulate the Actual schedule against the
Planned schedule. This view will only highlight the items attached to the task over the Actual date
range (i.e. between Actual Start and Actual End. See diagram below for graphical representation). For
time periods where the Actual dates are within the Planned dates (on schedule), the items attached to
the task will be displayed in the Task Type Start Appearance. For time periods where the Actual dates
are early, or late in comparison to the Planned dates (there is a variance), then the items attached to
the task will be displayed in the Task Type Early or Late Appearance, respectively.
