modify.

this task to be. By default, you can choose from:

Demolish
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 the Presenter tool). Task
types themselves can be defined and new types created on the
Configure
Tab
(page 611).
