Getting Started
To get started:
1. Load a model into NavisWorks in the usual way (see Opening Files for more information on
opening files) and then click TimeLiner on the Tools menu.
Note:
Although the ability to create 4D simulations is limited to users with access to the TimeLiner
functionality, any user can actually play them back once they have been setup.
2. Create some tasks, each having a name, start and end date and a task type. You can enter tasks by
hand on the Tasks tab. Alternatively, the Tools shortcut menu on the Tasks tab will create an initial
set of tasks based on layer, item, or selection set names. TimeLiner defines some default task types
for you (Construct, Demolish and Temporary), or you can define your own using the Configure tab.
