Timeliner_"Simulate" Tab in "Timeliner"

[Anonymous]

Hi,

Could you advise the solution on the following problem?

I created 4D simulation with schedule. And when I start to "play" in "simulate", "Active tasks" are moving per the schedule but on the screen, most objects are not shown during play. When I press "pause", then all object are shown per the schedule. I think the objects can not keep up with the schedule simultaneously.

Is there any way I can see all the objects while simulate is playing?

I appreciate if you could advise.

This sounds like the graphics card can't keep up with what is being asked of it.

You can make certain items required items by selecting them and choosing 'Require' on the 'Item Tools' panel, this means they will be prioritised over the rest of the scene.

Additionally you could try updating your graphics card drivers which should be available from your graphics card manufacturers.

To maximise the resources of the card, you should switch off some of the fancy features which will reduce the number of calculations they have to make. In Navisworks you can go to Application tab > Options > Interface > Display and switch off Occlusion Culling. There's also alot of other features on individual cards which can be switched off in their own options.
