1. In the TimeLiner window, the Tasks tab, click the task you want to modify.
2. Modify the task's date:
Clicking the drop-down button in the Start and End field opens the calendar, and lets you
set the Actual start/end dates.
Clicking the drop-down button in the Planned Start and Planned End field opens the
calendar, and lets you set the Planned start/end dates.
Use the left and right arrow buttons at the top of the calendar to move backwards and forwards a
month, respectively, then click on the day you require.
3. To change the start or end time, click the time unit you want to modify (hours, minutes or seconds),
and enter the value. You can use the left and right arrow keys to move between the units in the time
field.
Note:
When you edit a date/time field, the check box appears on the left. Select it to use the new value.
Clearing the check box resets the field to its default value.
To set or modify the task type:
1. In the TimeLiner window, the Tasks tab, click the task you want to modify.
2. From the Task Type drop-down list, select the type of task you wish this task to be.
There are three pre-defined task types: Construct, Demolish and Temporary. The task type defines
how the items attached to the task will be displayed during simulation. For example, a default
construction sequence would start with all items hidden, as the task starts the attached items will be
displayed in transparent green, then as the task ends the attached items will be displayed as they are
in the normal model display (this may be with materials applied if previously set up in NavisWorks
Presenter). Task types themselves can be defined and new types created on the Configure tab.
