3 Select one of the available options:
■ Unattached/Uncontained Items. Choose this to select any items
in the scene that are not attached to a task, or are not contained
within any other item attached to a task.
NOTE A Contained item is the child of another item. For example, if
you select a Group, Block or Cell which is comprised of various pieces
of geometry, then that geometry is contained within the Group, Block
or Cell. A Group, Block or Cell may therefore be attached to a task
and although the child geometry is not directly attached itself, it is
contained within an item that is attached.
■ Contained Items. Choose this to select any items in the scene that
are either attached to a task or contained within any other items
attached to a task.
■ Attached Items. Choose this to select any items in the scene that
are directly attached to a task.
■ Items Attached to Multiple Tasks. Choose this to select any
items in the scene that are directly attached to more than one task.
■ Items Contained in Multiple Tasks. Choose this to select any
items in the scene that are either attached to, or contained within
any other item that is attached to more than one task.
■ Items Attached to Overlapping Tasks. Choose this to select any
items in the scene that are attached to more than one task, where
the task durations overlap.
■ Items Contained in Overlapping Tasks. Choose this to select
any items in the scene that are either attached to, or contained within
any other item that is attached to more than one task, where the task
durations overlap.
The check results are highlighted on the Selection Tree and in the Scene
View.

scheduling software. A list of tasks including their start and end dates/times
can be imported from a project file directly into TimeLiner.
