To place an object in different positions when it is assigned to different tasks

Anonymous — Tue, 24 Jul 2018 09:03:40 GMT

Hi,

I trying to create a 4D planning using Navisworks Manage and I have found a problem I am not able to solve.

I have a big amount of 3D objects in my model and it is planned that they will change their position a lot during the project. But, I don´t find the way of replacing them along the planning without creating animations, which is really time-consuming in this case. That is why I was wondering if there is a faster way to do that.

Thank you in advance.

So the objects will be PHYSICALLY moved in the model as the project goes along? Or do you mean that they will be assigned to different tasks in the time schedule?

Yes, you are right, I mean that they need to be physically moved.

I will give you an example: an object X will be assigned to the task 1 and the task 2. During the task 1, the object will be placed at the inicial coordinates (the ones of the imported model). But, during the task 2, the object will be in another set of coordinates.

The point is that I need to do these kind of movements lots of times, so that I need to avoid create animations and intermediates tasks between "task 1 and task 2" to set these animations.
