NOTE See Select Objects (page 337) for more information on how to select
items in Autodesk Navisworks.
■ Clear Attachment - removes the attachment from this task.
■ Add Comment - adds a comment to the task. See Use Comments, Red-
lines, and Tags
(page 399) for more information.
■ Fill Down - sets the Task Type of all currently selected tasks in the Tasks
view to match that of the task that is currently 'in focus'.
■ Insert Task - inserts a new task above the one currently selected in the
Task view.
■ Delete Task - deletes the task currently selected in the Task view.
■ Auto-Add Tasks - automatically adds a task for every topmost layer,
top-most item, or every search and selection set.
■ Find - finds items in a schedule based on the search criteria that you select
in the Find menu. This option can be turned on/off in the Options
Editor (Tools ➤ TimeLiner ➤ Enable Find check box).
You can use multi-selection (i.e. holding down SHIFT or CTRL) to perform
most commands on several tasks at once. For example, should you need to
delete all tasks, select the first task, then hold down SHIFT and select the last
task, then press Delete.
Tasks
Column Set The Column Set drop-down enables you choose one of three
pre-defined column sets to display in the Tasks view; Basic, Standard or
Extended. Alternatively you can create a customized column set in the
Choose
TimeLiner Columns
(page 615) by clicking Choose Columns, then selecting
Custom when you have set up your preferred column set.
Filter by Status The Filter by Status drop-down enables you to filter tasks
based on their status. Filtering a task temporarily hides the task from the Task
and Gantt Chart views, but does not make any changes to the underlying data
structure.
Rules Click to display the
TimeLiner Rules Dialog Box (page 615).
Show Hierarchy Clicking the Show Hierarchy check box 'flattens' the
hierarchical structure shown in the Tasks view.
