Attach Tasks to Geometry
Each task needs to be attached to items in the model before 4D simulation
can work. You can create and attach tasks at the same time, or you can create
all tasks first, and then attach them, either separately, or in rule-defined
batches.
Tasks can be attached to the current selection in the Scene View, or any of
the selection sets, or any of the search sets. You can view the type of
attachments in the Attached column. By default, this column is located after
Task Type, but you can move it, for example, in front of the Start column.
