When I run my Navis timeliner simulation, the new construction objects appear 10 days prior to their planned start date. It's not just a couple, but every one of them. The status in the in the simulate window shows the task as "pending". For example, I have an equipment pad object with a planned start date of 6/29/2016. However, when I play the simulation, it appears on 6/19/2016. In addition, I have an amimation tied to this object which appears to follow the planned start and end dates as expected. Therefore, when I click the play button, the equipment pad appears on 6/19 and then disappears on 6/29 (due to the X-offset of the animation) then reappears and moves into place during the planned installation dates. I can't find any settings for "pending" tasks. Is this something hard-coded into Navisworks?
I'm running Navisworks Manage 2013, version 10.2.0.91043

Ok, I figured it out. This may be obvious to some of you. The Interval size in the Simulation Settings was set to "Percent". Therefore, tasks that start between precentage intervals would appear at the beginning of each percent duration. A similar thing happens when it is set to "Weeks". Since a particular task begins mid-week, it shows as "pending" at the start of that week and also appears in the simulation. Changing it to "Days" solved the problem. When I play the Simulation now, the objects now appear on the correct date.
