Hi everybody,

I cannot find how to set a date (ex: 6/5/2015) to the timeliner thought the Navisworks API (simulate tab). Any Idea?

The Timeliner tree is read-only like every saveditem class in Navisworks. You need to create a copy, edit the copy and replace the existing one. There are already topics in this forum addressing this issue

This response by Xiaodong shows the pattern of creating a copy of the timeliner tasks, modifying it, and importing it back: https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/navisworks-api/adding-a-custom-task-to-timeliner-or-adding-model-selections-to/m-p/3664652
