Use the drop-down list to select the interval unit, then use the Up and Down
arrow buttons to increase or decrease the interval size.
It is also possible to highlight all the tasks that are being worked on during
the interval. By selecting the Show All Tasks in Interval check box, and,
for example, setting the Interval Size to 5 Days, all tasks being worked on
during those 5 days will be set to their Start Appearance in the Scene
View, including those that begin and end within the bounds of the interval.
The Simulation slider will show this by drawing a blue line under the slider.
If this check box is clear, tasks that begin and end within the bounds of the
interval will not be highlighted in this manner, and will need to overlap with
the current date in order to be highlighted in the Scene View.
You can define the overall Playback Duration for the complete simulation
(the time needed to play it through from start to finish). Use the Up and
Down arrow buttons to increase or decrease the duration (in seconds). You
may also enter a duration directly into this field.
You can define whether the current simulation date should be overlaid in the
Scene View, and if so whether it should appear at the top or bottom of the
screen. From the drop-down, choose from None (to display no overlay text),
Top (to display the text at the top of the window), or Bottom (to display
the text at the bottom of the window).
You can Edit the information displayed in the overlay text using the Overlay
Text Dialog Box
(page 266). This dialog box also makes it possible to alter the
Font Type, Style and Size by clicking on the contained Font button.
You can add animation to an entire schedule, so that during the TimeLiner
sequence playback, Autodesk Navisworks will also play the specified viewpoint
animation or camera.
