Information about the TimeLiner Tab
TimeLiner is one of the main features of Navisworks and contains a series of tabs
regarding task creation, task importing from an external project file, configuring and
defining a simulation, and simulation export. The Tasks tab enables the user to define
and/or manage project tasks that will form the basis of the project schedule. It lists all
scheduling tasks (activities) comprising the project, such as excavation works, upper
structure construction works, and finishing works, within the rows of the task table.
Task columns are the other major components of the task table that represent the
scheduling information for predefined tasks. They contain information about planned
and actual start and end dates of tasks, types of tasks, and selection sets that are attached
to each task. The general view of the Navisworks TimeLiner is depicted in Figure 15.8.
